Suggestions for Tablet/Software for MEP Surveys

[moesterl]

Hey Guys,

Can anyone recommend or share experiences with Tablets/Software that I could use for MEP surveys?

Ideally, I want something I can load up with an architectual background pdf and mark it up in the field.

I also think it would be nice to be able to annotate with pictures... (ie. mark down on the plans where I took a picture of a VAV nameplate)

I think for this purpose I'd need something that has a good stylus response versus a finger swipe response.

Tablet-wise i'm considering the Samsung Galaxy Tab. I've looked into the bluebeam software and I think ACAD has a tablet software, although I dont know how easy to use that would be in the field.

I appreciate any suggestions, thanks!

The first one has a free app for field surveys that's really nice.

Best to you,
