The most efficient way to gather large quantities of data for field
observations, even by non-literate users, at a level of detail not possible
before. 
 

The CyberTracker field computer is designed to be quick and easy to use in the
field, even by non-literate users. Scientists and conservationists benefit from
the icon interface enabling significantly faster data collection than text
interfaces or written methods. A user-friendly interface developed for PalmOS
handheld computers allows field workers to record hundreds of detailed 
observations per day. The handheld computer can also be linked to a GPS.

The CyberTracker software allows users with no programming skills to: 

Design and edit a database 
Customise screen sequences using the Screen Writer feature 
Gather data with the CyberTracker field computer 
View data with the CyberTracker Geographic Information System 
Export data for advanced analysis, e.g. to Excel, ArcView or Distance
