<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Chris,<br>
Yep - spoilt for choice - and that is the problem that prompted my
attempt at crowd-sourcing some knowledge.<br>
Qfield does look good - it's the first one I noticed, and then a
billion other options came along when I hit "similar".<br>
<br>
Thanks for making the effort to respond.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>

<div>Hi Zoltan,<br>

Maybe there are so many because we all need something
different each time ;-)<br>
<br>
</div>
I like Qfield:<br>

<br>
</div>
In their words:<br>
<div>
<p>QField is built from ground up to be touch oriented and
easy to use outside. and follows the following paradigm:</p>
<ul>
<li>GPS centric</li>
<li>QGIS desktop compatible</li>
<li>Fully working when offline</li>
<li>Synchronization capabilities</li>
<li>Project preparation on desktop</li>
<li>Few and large buttons</li>
<li>Switchable use paradigm (Display, Digitizing, Measuring,
Inspection,…)</li>
</ul>
<p>Available features:</p>
<ul>
<li>navigation (pan, zoom)</li>
<li>feature identification</li>
<li>attribute editing</li>
</ul>
<p>A lighterweight alternative but not having image backdrops
is <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://MAPS.ME">MAPS.ME</a>
- <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://maps.me/en/features">http://maps.me/en/features</a><br>
</p>
<p>Byline: is the right choice!</p>
<p>You download the OSM data for your region on wifi and
thereafter you don't have any naggy need for networks. You
can add bookmarks and preload kml files.<br>
</p>
<p>Let us know!</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Chris<br>

AfricaList,<br>
I see that there is a truckload of GIS related Apps in the
Google Playstore.<br>
<br>
I've just bought the new Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 (latest
Android) and would like to put some TIF format aerial orthos
onto it, and view them "at my current location" (track while
I drive).<br>
Beyond that plus zoom in/out, the only functionality I might
want is to drop a pin at current location, and add a short
note to it.<br>
<br>
So, given this really basic, simple need, plus the billions
of Android apps in the playstore, would anyone like to
recommend a really lightweight app that I can do this with?<br>
<br>
Regards and thanks in advance,<br>
Zoltan<br>
