131 out of the 357 inquired geography students use smartphone Based on a research at the University of Szeged QGIS on smartphone/tablet

Android Device Status Device specific bugs version Transformer The display usually fits to the size of the 3.2 OK monitor, the options works well, but there are problems with the usage of the attribute table. Galaxy S2 2.3.4 OK Too small to display all options Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Tested with alpha3: some problems in using, 3.2 OK but looking and working better and better :) Samsung Note (GT-7000) 2.3.6 OK Too small to display some options ThinkPad Tablet 3.1 OK Under test

Summary

● The smartphone is highly relevant to the disaster management trends ● Reviewing the smartphone functionality indicates its potential for GIS based disater management ● Crowdsourcing ● SAHANA could be a potential framework of a crowedsoured solution Compet-Terra www.competterra.com [email protected]
