Since 2008 the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) has used handheld devices (Personal Digital Assistents PDAs) for collecting field data in a digital format. Since PDAs are becoming obsolete and new device technology with improved functionality is available, it was decided to develop an Android-based application (app) that can be used by many mobile telephones and to test this on different devices during field work in Greenland.
