summary

QField is a simple Android client for QGIS projects that syncs edits via a sync plugin and runs on mid‑range devices; editable layers must include QGIS widgets and snapping and be set to offline editing or sync will fail, and the project must remain closed when initialising sync. Example build: raw JSON from a Portrack GPS collar ($~300) is imported into PostGIS, turned into lines/polygons and visualised in QGIS 3D; collar logs every 6 minutes (≈120 points over 12 hours) and the 3D export works.
