Our studies indicate that this is also a more efficient way to capture data for literate users. Over the years we’ve rolled our own mini-GIS for the desktop, but the scalability of this approach is clearly limited. Since we’re a non-profit and in the process of opening our code, it makes sense to leverage an existing system. Of the solutions I have investigated, QGIS seems most aligned at the technical level.</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;">We do bring some interesting work to the table. Our client supports Windows Mobile and Android and has a large library of customizable UI components which can capture many different data types, including images and sound. There is also support for timer tracks and a field map.</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;">I’m pretty new to the Open Source community, so apologies if this is off.
