 The **Mapper Frontend** was developed to provide a simpler, more intuitive
 mapping experience.
 
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Device Requirements
+
+Ensure you have an Android device for field mapping activities, as ODK is
+not supported on iOS devices.
+
+Verify that your mobile device meets the minimum specifications required
+for field mapping:
+
+- **Minimum RAM**: 4GB
+- **Storage**: Ensure sufficient storage space is available (1GB should be enough).
+- **Operating System**: ODK recommends using Android 10 or higher for
+  the best security and performance.
+
+#### Checking Device Specifications
+
+- Go to the file manager or "My Files" on your mobile device to see
+  the device storage.
+- Check your phone settings for information about device settings
+  such as RAM and processors.
+
+### Browser Selection
+
+- We recommend using the Chrome browser on your mobile device to access
+  the FMTM platform for optimal performance.
+- If you encounter difficulties using FMTM through the browser, you can
+  add the FMTM browser shortcut to your home screen via the menu.
