Dear all, A friend working with an LGU is looking at some field data collection equipment. This project will use OSM data as basemap. For field data collection, they want a device that can: - collect gps tracks so that they can upload traces in OSM - use OSM layers - collect geotagged photos and related information for their own internal database - data can be saved offline and then "sync" upon returning to the office
They have limited budget therefore a dedicated field GPS along with its bells and whistles is not the best solution. Some options I can think of: - data logger and digital cam - photos can be synchronized with gps tracks, has long battery life suitable for long fieldwork - a cheap droid phone - all in one device for fieldnotes, phototagging and gps tracklogging, limited battery life. Jim mentioned a while ago Cherry mobile cosmo [0]. @Jim, based on your experience, do still suggest we look at this phone? Other suggestions welcome.
