Today the desire to create smart and electronic companions in the daily life of humans has been fulfilled with the production of mobile processing equipment. On the other hand, the integration of existing capabilities of these equipment with the features of the spatial information systems, has become the basis for the emergence of a new technology called spatial information system. Simply put, displaying the spatial information can be considered as the most vital part of a mobile spatial information system. On the other hand, allocating a major part of the commercial market of mobile equipment to devices running with Android operating system encouraged the authors to explore different visual techniques in such equipment. The analysis can be considered as one of the most important studies required to develop a sample of a mobile spatial information system. But unfortunately, despite the great importance of this issue, no comprehensive and technical studies have yet been conducted to evaluate the performance of different methods of displaying spatial information in the context of this operating system. The methods used in this study include the use of Google Map API, ArcGIS Runtime SDK, OSMDroid, MapsFroge and Nutiteq libraries. To compare these methods and express the use cases of each of them, services were developed using each one of these methods and the Java programming language. Finally, after analyzing the results of various experimental experiments, the quality of performance, capabilities, strengths and weaknesses of each method were clearly expressed. In general, the results of this study can be considered as an appropriate starting point for selecting an appropriate library for displaying spatial information in any instance of a mobile spatial information system.

Effective planning and decision-making require access to accurate and updated information. Having updated spatial information and proper application of it is one of the most important topics in the command. A C4I system is composed of several smaller systems that can help military commanders assess the enemy’s information and make better decisions. Geospatial Information System )GIS( can assist commanders in achieving more rational decisions. GIS by modeling the Earth and the effect on Earth will provide a good view of the operating area for military commanders. This article reviews the role and application of Geospatial Information System in development of command and control.Using of new technologies such as mobile Geospatial Information System )Mobile GIS( and web-based Geospatial Information System )WEB GIS(, followed by locating the best places with different functions are GIS capabilities in command and control )C4I(.Thus, using Geospatial Information System capabilities by modeling of the operating area can be reached the highest rates in optimal and valid decisions for command and control.
