<div>I made a typo. Pockettopo is simpler in programming. You just draw exactly what you want. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Topodroid automates the drawing of dashes and tick marks and makes your drawing in the cave neater. <br>

<div>That's a big question. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1rst, let's talk topodroid versus pockettopo. Topodroid draws the tick marks for you, but has a slight learning curve. It doesn't integrate perfectly into therion but I can help with some of the issues it has. And Marco is really responsive in fixing problems.
Topodroid is simpler, but you draw on it just like on a pad of paper. I haven't found an iPad solution. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2nd let's talk tablets. My biggest consideration was what type of stylus. Capacitive stylus are ok, but the lines don't match up perfectly. The nvidia shield or similar tablet (which I am trying to review in the next couple months) can use a #2 pencil.
Then there are tablets like the surface of the galaxy note that use a Wacom stylus and are very accurate. I suggest you might try them out at your local electronics store to see which stylus you like. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As for waterproof...depends how wet your caves are. I use a waterproof case I got off amazon for $15...but I don't ever submerge it. I just need to protect from the occasional drip. </div>
