We think a better way of performing this
task is to have the contractor provide a digital still image of each
item in his report along with the associated geographic coordinate
(accuracy is not an issue since anything within 500' is acceptable).
Almost all digital cameras will timestamp their images. Almost all
handheld GPSs can produce timestamped tracklogs of where they go.
As long as the camera's time is set to the GPS time at the beginning
of the day, and suitable track log settings are chosen, you can just
use them independently and work out later where you were at the moment
a photo was taken.
I would recomment a relatively high resolution camera without a long
lens. That way the picture will contain a lot of context information
to pinpoint the location, but enough information at the center to zoom
in and see the problem.
