Advanced user of TerraSyncTerrasync allows you to easily record data to a specific point. You can add different types of data and use the notes section for anything you may have forgotten. The upside fo terra sync is its usability in a mobile environment. You can use different symbols to mark different locations to enable easy distinction between different points on the map. The map view is also easy to use to ensure that you have correctly inputed the data and allows you to easily return back to previous points and re-input them if there is an error.
Theres no option to alter the data you are collecting when on site unless you have a computer with the software available. It can be fiddly to enter the data in the required fields as you are working on a small mobile device.
Ensure you include a notes section as you are not able to edit the form whilst on site and so this will enable you to record any data you may have forgotten about or not expected to collect whilst on site. I would also ensure that you clearly label each entry so that your data is easy to interpret.
Terrasync enabled me to input the labels of my samples with a GPS location. This was beneficial as it allowed me to easily identify where each of my samples were from months afterwards to help identify possible discrepancies and outliers within my data
