For active survey, it is more my preference that I do not have to remember to load data like what you describe before I go out. I may survey and I may not. For that reason I use something like keyboard mapper 2. For example, I use the L key to remember building level counts or stair levels. It is quick and I do not have to page through a bunch of screens. That is my view on some of the applications. Keyboard mapper 2 is my way of surveying. It may not be suitable for other mappers. I also get to choose when the survey data is merged with the map after looking at the surrounding map data. I now favor passive survey with OpenStreetCam or Mapillary. This method has issues too but it is far better than when I used paper and pencil. Regards, Greg
