Some questions from a beginner

Hi,

In few weeks I'm going to start a project in Ethiopia using tablets Samsung
Galaxy Tab A 7.0 with ODK app and ONA server for data collection. It will
be my first time so I would like to ask you some questions before this:

  •      each tablet has its own GPS and I would like to ask if GPS
    

device is enough and I don’t need internet connection for gathering data
location? What would be the difference using internet connection in
gathering detailed location?

  •      because of lack of internet I need to make backups in the
    

fieldwork – do I need any special app to download the back up on an
external hard disk? How should I do it properly?

  •      does the app have option of coming back to the last asked
    

question if the interview was aborted?

  •      when I look into the ‘download’ on your page I see a lot of
    

opportunities – do you have any description what they are using for? I
thought I need nothing more than ODK collect to install on all tablets, is
that right? What for are all the rest?

I would be very grateful for response into my questions.

Best regards,

Agata Kusnierek

Hi Agata,

GPS doesn't need Internet access to work. You just need a clear view of the sky.

For the rest of your questions, you should try Ona's help at
