+ | 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. | ||
+ | - If you tend to use one or two distoXs per device (but not at one time). | ||
+ | - You want better survey software. | ||
+ | - Quick cave sketching with no need to consider scraps, Therion or final presentation. | ||
+ | - ‘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. | ||
+ | - 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). | ||
