Futura provides users with a choice of map viewing options.
The FuturaWebMap provides an enterprise browser-based viewing solution. This option provides the best value when it comes to giving map access to the entire utility.

FuturaReader is a desktop view-only solution and an excellent solution for replacing the “truck map”.

FuturaMobile is an ArcEngine-based viewer similar in capability to FuturaReader but it can also provide GIS editing capability if combined with an optional “Geodatabase Editing” extension.

GPS Compatibility
Garmin GPS devices can be loaded with geodatabase layers from Futura, providing utilities with a cost effective solution to providing map information to field personnel.

The FuturaWebMap is a web-based map viewing solution that allows everyone within the utility to view the entire electrical network. The FuturaWebMap is view-only; no edits can be made.
