<p>But that's it pretty much. While the rest of this page gives some hints for doing some other stuff, with great difficulty, it's not really worth it. A Chromebook fundamentally <em>is</em> a an expo <a href="basiclaptop.html">basic laptop</a>.

<h3>Survey Laptop Use - not really</h3>
<p>But Chromebooks do not have any easy, simple way of running Tunnel, Survex or Therion. So you can't create a centre-line plot or trave over a centre-line plot to create a cave survey.
<p>To a very limited extent you can get around this by running Survex/Cavern <a href="/survexfile/caves-1623/264/watertorture.svx">on the expo server</a>, where you can type in and edit survex files. This will serve to check for syntax errors. But it won't give you a .3d file you can visually spin around in 3D and you can't print out a centre-line plot.
<p>If you really want to run tunnel or therion you need to enable Linux (see below).
<p>If you are a programmer, you can try an Android app (recent Chromebooks only) to run Java and then run Tunnel in that.
Good luck. Let us know how you get on...</p>

<p>OK, so you can't do any of the cave survey jobs with tunnel or therion, but there are some cave data management jobs you can do, such as rename a whole load of files when a cave gets a kataster number, e.g. when Balkonh&ouml;hle got renamed from 2002-05 to 1623-264.
