Hello,
i´m using it for more than two years now, 3 to 15 times per month. My
device is built on windows, so there is PocketTopo installed. For me it
works great, strong battery, quite big screen, I use to clean it just
directly under the flowing water. But on the other hand, surprisingly
PocketTopo turned out to run significantly slower than on the previous,
old and cheap PDA (means menu reactions, context menu calling and so; it
doesn´t affect bleutooth connection or any other core functionalities -
anyway it could be just some settings error). Then, I had to replace
stylus, which was very wide and not draw friendly, instead I use thin
stylus from old PDA (metal core), which doesn´t works perfectly, but
it´s much better to work with. As well, the screen is not so precise for
drawing than on my old PDA, partly perhaps because of bigger screen, but
I think the technology has been changed (you can use only plastic, thin
protection of the screen to be able to use old and precise stylus).
Also, the two buttons (arrows) on the left side of the device I found
very annoying - there are right there, where one would hold the device,
they manage volume, which is very necessary to work with inside the
cave...; I will try to seal them once. And last thing, it´s necessary to
protect screen from drops of water, even small ones are registered and
making some effect on screen.
So that´s all troubles I noticed, otherwise you can count with this
device anywhere.
But to use it just to draw a raw sketch in PocketTopo or Topodroid, it´s
bit expensive (f.e. DigiTerra explorer - basic GIS software can be
instaled).
