The use of PDAs allows officers to capture data on weed infestations and pest programs involving bait trails on regional maps using Global Positioning devices built into the PDAs. Using an extensive data base created by SERIC in consultation with the SENRMB, officers are able to record specific information using a series of drop down forms from a menu. Data is logged onto the device while the officer is on site and is then down loaded to the regional database via the PC in the office when the Authorised Officer returns from the field.
