[Therion] Best caving tablet

[Rob Countess]

I posted this on cave chat.org but no replies:


So I'm awaiting shipment of my DistoX2. I've never used one before.

I am trying to figure out what the best tablet is to use with it. I am
using Therion but I am new to that as well. I used to use Walls and before
that On Station.

I have zero experience with paperless cave surveying. I have never used
Pocketopo or Topodroid which makes it hard to decide between windows or
android. Topodroid seems to be set up well for use with Therion, but again
I have no idea; I've never used an android device only iPhone and iPad. I
see the new ipad pro has a stylus - are there cave survey/disto apps that
run on iPad?

A new windows surface pro3 tablet seems like a good idea but are there good
waterproof cases?

Xperia Z4 tablet claims IP68 - can it handle a cave without a case? I can't
seem to find any suitable rugged cases for it.

If price was not a factor what set up would you use?

Thanks
