About CartoDruid
CartoDruid, is a free Android tool developed by the ITACyL that allows field technicians to capture information in the field quickly and easy without needing great GIS skills.
The tool includes the most common functions of a GIS editor, but focuses on making the data collection as easy as possible, allowing technicians to define forms through a wizard, which can then be modified to include validations, organization, field calculation, etc.
The tool seeks to be easily integrated into the work of organizations: it supports different forms of data import and export, it uses the open source sqlite-spatialite database as storage for vectorial cartography and includes a configurable synchronization client to send the data to the organization's cloud.
Another of its strong points is that it allows you to work completely offline and is ideal for working in areas without coverage, or with high latency networks.
