Geo-collaboration is an emerging research area in computer sciences studying the way spatial, geographically referenced information and communication technologies can support collaborative activities. Scenarios which associated to its physical location are of paramount importance often referred as Situated Knowledge Creation scenarios. To date there few systems supporting knowledge creation that explicitly incorporate context part being managed mobile face-to-face This work presents a software application visually-geo-referenced working scenarios while users interacting face-to-face. The system allows manage data specific locations for processes field, such urban planning, identifying locations, territorial management, etc.; using Tablet-PCs GPS order geo-reference information. It model developing applications situated introducing requirements functionalities it should have fulfill them. paper also results utility usability evaluations.
