<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Thats understandable the differences, now Justin can you specify more about how would you like to make the integration<BR> <BR>I am thinking you would probably want to do the data collection using CyberTracker, then export it or download it to be used within QGIS. Now what is it that you would want to do with the data inside QGIS? Depending on your goals you may want to create a plugin that would take the data and do certain predefined analysis<BR> <BR>Regards<br>Antonio Locandro<br>

They’re missing a few components that are important for us, e.g. full offline (for security) and support for a number of in-field scenarios. It’s possible these features will be created over time. The proprietary nature of Fulcrum would tend to turn off some potential groups in the same way as it occasionally has for us. </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style='color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;'> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style='color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;'>So far, we have not seen meaningful support for low literate users in any major product.

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><span style='font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";'></span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style='color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;'> </span><span style='font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";'></span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style='color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;'>We do bring some interesting work to the table.
