see example screens

Easy To Use

Palm Locate III is designed by a field biologist for field biologists who need easy telemetry data entry and triangulation while still in the field.

The easy to use Palm Locate III:

Powerful and Flexible

Because Palm Locate III is easy to use and runs on a handheld PDA does not mean it is restricted in power or is inflexible.

The powerful and flexible Palm Locate III:

·        you don't need to enter your location - this automatically comes from a plugged-in GPS receiver

·        calculates location automatically so to as to know whether to take more bearings or not

·        keeps data separate for each animal

·        just tap buttons to select animals

·        displays a background map so that you can see your location relative to the animal's

·        then can view/plot etc using WinLocate

·        if you use the same spots to get bearings, then you just tap buttons to select predefined telemetry stations

·        hotsync and automatically transfer data to PC computer. No need to type them in again

·        uses the same stations and background maps as you have on your PC

·        can edit or define new stations and animals in the field

·        PC and Palm remember which data has been changed - thus you can change data on both and automatically merge the data

·        use several Palm PDAs on the same project, and merge all the data together on your PC

·        keeps data separate for each animal

·        automatically calculates all locations at once, or recalculates

·        automatically calculates a bearing error from all locations, and then apply this to future locations

Specifications
