All my metrics are based on survey followed by data entry. I am sure direct
entry using OsmAND or Vespucci has a significant advantage of avoiding the
some of the work involved in the data entry phase. Unfortunately, using the
GPS on my phone limits the time for data collection to an hour or less.

Hi,
I hope this is the correct place to post this - if not, please be kind to
me (as a newbie) and point me in the right direction!
I'm teaching a 1st year Undergraduate module on GIS with approx. 200
Planning and/or Geography students on it next year (Oct 2015 - Mar 2016).
