It really doesn't. They generally don't have maps as a first-class
interface, and I've seen some very nasty nasty dive logs with random
interfaces, and people filling out the locations very badly indeed.

Having the android companion app and just leaving it running, and
letting subsurface just pick up the gps locations automatically really
makes a big difference. It's not hard, and you get *infinitely* better
data than trying to type in country/region stuff. And if we had a
database, you could actually look up dive sites sanely. But only if
you have actual GPS coordinates.
