 A nice little application that, once you've obtained a cave proof PDA and DistoX, allows you to do away with the simple, foolproof, pencil and paper - compass clino tape, and rely instead on batteries and the vagaries of recalcitrant hardware and software. A nice little application that, once you've obtained a cave proof PDA and DistoX, allows you to do away with the simple, foolproof, pencil and paper - compass clino tape, and rely instead on batteries and the vagaries of recalcitrant hardware and software.

 +==== SexyTopo ==== 
 + 
 +  * Author: Rich Smith 
 +  * Version: 1.3.11 September 2019 
 +  * Platform: Android 4.3 + 
 +  * Program language: EN 
 +  * Program manual lang.: EN

 +The SexyTopo cave and underground surveying app for Android. Next-gen surveying with a sexy interface. It interfaces with a Disto-X and builds up a model of the cave. It provides a sketching environment for the cave surveyor to collect the details, and exports all the information to Therion, Survex, Compass, text (PocketTopo Therion) and SVG. 
 + 
 +===Why use SexyTopo?=== 
 +  - Android based, will run on your phone.  Modeled after PocketTopo. 
 +  - If you tend to use one or two distoXs per device (but not at one time). 
 +  - You want better survey software.  Experimental beta, although developing rapidly.  A few rough edges yet to iron out.  A responsive author. 
 +  - Quick cave sketching with no need to consider scraps, Therion or final presentation.  \\ In the cave, quickly sketch over your survey centreline in one large drawing.   
 +  - ‘Drawing’ options include lines and text in 8 colours (directly accessed from the drawing screen – one tap to change) and comments attached to survey stations. 
 +  - See in real time the survey network for all previous survey trips to the cave.  
 +  - Files all stored in a single folder, so you need a snappy naming convention to keep track of your files. 
 +  - Semi-automated export to Therion ready to compile as a stand alone trip survey.  Requires manual edits to survey th files, but not to drawing th2 files (because th2 files are nominally empty). 
 +  - Later with XTherion, your SexyTopo sketch is a background to trace over, while you consider how best to create scraps over it, with an awareness of the entire survey to date.   
 +  - Original sketches are always visible for direct comparison with the current state of cartography (in XTherion).
