Data collection using preprinted map

Pros

• Very cheap and independent of weather conditions (pencil will work from -60°C to +40°C)
  • Make sure to protect paper (fire, water and physical damage)
• No need in electricity (permanent or batterers)
• Low weight
• Low cost

Cons

• Same as with using your memory
• You will need printer or someone else to print your map
• You need some time to prepare map for your region (but this can be delegated too)
• You may need reliable light source (it would be difficult to write during storm or night time)
