VFA (
http://www.vfa.com/) as a complement to their VFA.Facility product, has an app called VFA.Auditor specifically geared towards assessments - definetely has photo capture capability (with some limited photo editing, like rotating, designate as primary photo), and synchs with the VFA.Facility database. From a tablet (Android & Ipad) you have access to a system library to see system definitions (uses Uniformat II). I haven't used it, only seen online demos.
Don't know about geo tagging or associating w/ drawings . . .
An interesting trend I've noticed in these sorts of applications (talking about condition assessment software now) is the move away from checklists. Used to be that there was a checklist for every subsystem and sub-subsystem out there, so many and so cumbersome that only the true die-hards would ever complete them. The trend now seems to focus on remaining life, duty cycle, maintenance practices and records to assess building systems. On one hand this puts a heavier burden on the assessor as the SME, but on the flip side, more assessments are getting done vs. only a few with the long, laborious checklists. Making the assessments as consistent and objective as possible has always been a challenge.
