While this theme is hot, I'd appreciate any ideas on the best set-up for an integrated system that includes alternatives that include GPS, map data (preferably USGS quads or equivalent), and software that permits quick and easy (one-click) entry of coordinates for different kinds of data simultaneously, e.g., roads, track, photos, weather, and several different classes of information along with analytical software, all in a seamless package (once it's put together). Where to purchase? Best-performing components and reviews by competent/experienced people.

Short of that mouthful, any discussion will do.

Subject: [ECOLOG-L] Suggestions on rugged laptops for field use


Hello All,

Anyone have recommendations on (or personal experience with) rugged laptops or
tablets for use in the field?  Specifically, I am mostly interested in
communication with dataloggers and good performance in cold climates.
Comments on general features, such as screen visibility in sunlight and
sensitivity to the elements etc are welcome too.

Thanks much,
Colin
