      Hi folks,

      </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>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>
