  'REM MAPS' MAPPING GEAR THROUGH THE YEARS - 4

Ph: Francesca Minetto
 
THE FUTURE? - 201X
How will the future be ? I don't know, there are many open options: staying low cost or buying the fantastic (and expensive) Trimble Yuma 2? Keeping Windows with OCAD or moving to Open Orienteering Mapper with Android? The picture shows a likely scenario: Acer netbook (given to me to be tested, thanks to Luca Elisei from club Orsa Maggiore) running WINDOWS8. 10" screen (quite big in the forest, but perfect to draw indoor) can be un-locked from the keyboard and becomes a tablet. Battery can't be replaced so a power bank must be used. Capacitive screen gives the challenge to find a proper stylus pen, as the common ones are not accurate enough. Future is very near.
UPDATE: this setting actually has never been used: a RUGGED TABLET came in and was used for the next 4 years.
