Dear all,
I'm canvassing peoples opinions/views regarding digital mapping. I'd 
like to more clearly understand what the issues are. In particular:
If you're reluctant/resistant to try digital mapping i.e. collecting 
geological field data using a GPS connected to a PDA/tablet PC why?
Is it a cost issue? a lack of knowledge about the systems? don't trust 
the technology? What?
If you have experienced digital mapping what were the pros and cons 
compared with 'normal' mapping?

I'm sure it would be an interesting topic for group discussion- However 
I don't wish to fill peoples inboxes with stuff they're not interested 
in particularly when many are off doing fieldwork or on holiday.
People can reply to me direct if they wish and I'll put together a 
selection of views.

Cheers
Phill
