Hi Alistair You should check out the new GBM Mobile software from ExaMin. They are based in Brisbane, so should be relatively easy for you to deal with!
GBM Mobile is a complete field-mapping system, and as a MapX Mobile-based product is designed to synchronise with MapInfo from PC to Pocket PC. I think it is exactly what you are after. see www.geobasemap.com for further details and contact information Hope this helps Caroline ..................................

I am looking for something that will allow me to click on the house polygon in the cadastral layer and bring up a customised form to enter data seamlessly into a relational database and allow me to query that info easily in Mapinfo back in the office. I want our teams to be able to do this in a non-wireless manner (ie: have all data residing on the handheld) with occasional synchronisation as we work in remote areas sometimes. This application will be used to collect field survey information about mosquito breeding etc... during dengue fever outbreaks in north Queensland, Australia, and therefore must not be labour intensive. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be gratefully recieved! Thanks, will SUM.
