🐘The British Geological Survey (BGS) has moved away from proprietary GIS to a fully open-source stack for field data capture using #qgis and #MerginMaps. 🗺️💻

They’ve built a custom plugin that handles complex database constraints (using GeoPackage/SQLite) directly in the field. This allows for seamless data capture on both Windows tablets and mobile devices without vendor lock-in.

It's a huge win for open science and reproducible research.
