[Therion] Best caving tablet

[Adam Sampson]

FYI, you can use Andy from andyroid.net to emulate android on a PC if you want to try out topodroid. However, the emulator can't use Bluetooth. So you have to disable/deny Bluetooth and enter everything manually. Still a cheap way to try out the program.

I find it works well, waterproofed using a beach case (Aquapaq bags for total immersion waterproofing, or a cheap beach case for phone/PDA). The winning features for me are the replaceable battery (allowing larger batteries which can run the PDA all day) and low cost (2nd hand via eBay).

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?
