Hi folks,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would encourage you to also check out Mergin Maps that will
work on IOS or Android devices. Maybe also spell out why Windows
is required or where the apps fail. The developers may be able
to assist in solving issues. Plenty more “rugged” devices
available in Android or with rugged cases in IOS.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have used Panasonic tough books in the past but tablets or
even phones are just so much more useful these days (depending
on your use case)<br>

It comes with Windows, but I run Debian Testing on
it and I really like it, even the use of the pen.<br>
Not sure about ruggedized cases for it though.<br>

I'm afraid you will end up with the normal
ruggedized Windows tablets which are available (and
pretty expensive)?<br>

(dusty, sometimes damp). The work is recording
simple attributes and short text comments onto
shapefiles of e.g. wall elevations (up to 20,000
polygons, although these could be split up). There
will be geo-tif orthophotos of the wall
elevations/plans as well, although these could be
lo-res. All processing and analysis will be done in
office on a desktop, tablet is just for recording.<br>
