As a follow up to the previous article, it is time to announce a new way of surveying in South Africa with some new and very impressive toys, the DistoX2 and a Nexus 7 tablet with TopoDroid installed on it. We decided to test this combination fully over the last few weeks and see what it is capable of. For this enter a cave named Villa Louisa III. According to its description, it’s a fairly large cave and heavily mined. So at the entrance of the cave we switch on the tablet and create a new file named Villa3. The tablet has GPS, so we immediately get the exact coordinates of the cave entrance and make that spot our first survey station.
