v3.8.1 Overview
 the companion to pbEncom Discover, now
makes it easier to capture GIS data in the
field.
 you can take your digital maps and images
wherever you go.
 is GPS enabled
 Can be used for in-field data capture,
sample logging, mapping and navigation.

incrementing sample numbers & auto-fill of
date/type fields
 Object style library for intuitive map display
(e.g. soil versus rock-chip samples)
 User-customizable picklists (e.g. lithology,
colour) simplify repetitive data capture and
remove data entry errors
 Extensive library of structural types, with
prompts for appropriate parameters
 Australian, USA and Canadian structural
symbol libraries
