Camera

In field survey, the surveyors usually take pictures of the real scenery with camera for recording and observation. SuperPad also supports to take pictures using PDA equipped with camera function. The picture format is JPG (*.jpg). Moreover, PDA equipped with GPS function can record the coordinates of the place where you take the picture in SuperPad. Therefore, the picture can record image, coordinates and time for easier arrangement and even can be used to produce photo layers.
