Benefits of Digital Data Capture
Easy to use
Customizable for situation (ie planning traverses, data layers)
Database integration
Instant data mapping (structural symbols, rock unit coloration, contacts, labels)
Easy data compilation
Map creation…Done!

Why Digital Data Capture?Data at your fingertips
Multiple drawings for traverse planning, roads, topographic overlays etc…
Modifications can be made easily in the field
Database for easy note taking and GIS integration
Syncing of data from mapping crews
Less time spent transferring data to build a map and data table
Instantaneous map creation: Saving you TIME, ENERGY, and $$$
