Back in the days of Windows 3.0 a number of companies created tablets. We selected the Toshiba and to this day that design has not far evolved from those earily days. We work in agriculture and needed a tool to help automate the heads-up feet-down field inventory and scouting. That product is FarmGIS. What we found is that "sketching" was a poor method as you have deal with issues related to pen stroke and lifts. What we did was to enable associated GPS to handle the point and line work. Turn on the process and just walk and the info is captured. If you would like a evaluation copy let me know.

I have installed MapInfo 7 and noticed that on-screen digitising is not the best. Successive pen taps are not always recorded, resulting in a series of disconnected segments rather a continuous line. Has anyone tried MapInfo on a tablet running the latest Win XP Tablet OS and have any comments on use?
