Most interesting indeed.. nice link.
I have to confess to be about to try a full digital recording in Croatia, usign Compaq tablets running OZIExlporer and a formed database, the machine would also be linked to a camera and GPS. Now this all records in real time, and joy of joy, I will be able to 'see' what I am doing, as I do it. The down side?? well... apart from saving all the time in retyping in the info from the barely legible record sheets, and going through all the photos, trying to remember what that particular rock was - thus meaning we will head to the beach earlier! THe main trouble, which I seriously worry about... a) weather... try survey in p##n rain or similar...? b) not having a paper copy (ergo.. printout every day of that days work)
We are moving forwrd... VERA looks great... so does INTASIS, there are many others... can't wait for the future..!
