SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwire - January 16, 2008) - Adapx (www.adapx.com), the company that is changing the economics of field data management, today introduces Capturx built for ArcGIS Desktop, a fully integrated GIS software solution that digitally enables field mapping with a digital pen and standard paper.

There are three core components of Capturx built for ArcGIS Desktop solution:
The Capturx built for ArcGIS Desktop software platform - Only Capturx offers a software platform that interprets information back and forth from the field to computer. After paper maps have been marked up, the software platform translates the digital ink captured in Penx as Geodatabase features available in ArcGIS Desktop.
The Penx digital pen - Penx, the field-ready digital pen, writes on paper with regular ink and simultaneously records pen strokes as digital ink. The durable construction is designed to go in even the harshest climates and conditions and ranks higher in convenience by users than rugged PCs and tablets. Penx is designed for the way people work, with virtually no training required.
Digital paper - Any standard paper up to A2 (16.5 x 23.4) can be used to print the ArcMap-designed map. Most color, high-resolution and PostScript Level 2 printers can imprint the special digital pen-enabling pattern of dots recognized by Penx.
