Boring Logging Template for Tablet
Boring Logging Template for Tablet
(OP)
The worst part for me as a geotech was writing your logs in the field and then having to go back to the office the next day and manually enter them into the logging program (we use gINT). I think the whole process could easily be improved upon if you could create your log in the field on a tablet and send it straight back to the office. You could set up a whatever logging template your client needs into the app and create finished logs right in the field. It would save a lot of time, and allow the PM back in the office to get real time data from the field much more quickly. It would also reduce the risk of getting soil/water on your logs and ruining them (provided you have a sturdy case for the tablet) Does anyone know if a product like this exists? I have several friends who work in software development, and if nothing like this exists now (and people think it is useful), I would like to try and work with them to make it happen.

HoleBASE (Keynetix) have certainly been doing the same for years, I used Pocket SI around 10 years ago on handheld PDA's. There is a lengthy discussion on linkedin about this exact topic, see Roger Chandler of Keynetix for more info.
