Forest Watcher vs UTM Maps

Forest Watcher is a mobile application designed to bring the dynamic online forest monitoring and alert systems of Global Forest Watch (GFW) offline and into the field. Forest Watcher allows users to easily access GFW’s forest change data on any mobile device, navigate to areas of detected change, and collect information about what they find, regardless of connectivity. This app provides an affordable and easy-to-use solution to quickly identify areas for patrols or field investigations, collect evidence about forest changes from the field, use the data that’s collected to make evidence-based management and conservation decisions, and investigate remote sensing products in the field. Features: * Designate areas of interest to monitor, up to 20,000 sq km * Store various satellite-based forest change data, such as near-real-time deforestation alerts on your mobile device * Overlay contextual layers, such as Protected Areas and Timber Concessions, or upload other custom datasets * Investigate alerts in the field and collect information (including GPS points and photos) through built-in and customizable forms * Review, analyze, and download data collected with the app * Route tracking to investigate a deforestation alert * Share alerts, areas, routes, reports, contextual layers and basemap tiles or all app content at once. * Manage a team and more through the supplementary desktop application at forestwatcher.globalforestwatch.org If you have any issues downloading or using the app, please reference our “how-to” materials. If the issues persist, please contact us at forestwatcher@wri.org. Any other questions or feedback, please contact us at forestwatcher@wri.org.

A simple APP for working with Latitude Longitude, UTM and MGRS coordinates, Maps and GPS. Register points to be displayed on a map or stored in a database complete with readable address data (geocoding). Capture photo with a watermark containing point name, coordinates and address information. Measure area, distance and registering lines and polygons. Export saved data to CSV or KML file format or locate points in the field using your built-in device's compass and GPS or with generating direction route. Register Points UTM Maps allows you to register points and stored in database to display on the map or export to a CSV file. Stored point data will automatically completed with UTM coordinates and readable address (geocoding requires internet access). Searching for Coordinates You can search for Latitude, Longitude, UTM, or MGRS coordinates to display on a map or find them in the field using a compass or Direction Route. Measure Area And Distance No need to go to the field anymore; now you can measure area and distance with various units using this application. Stores line and polygon data in database and displays it on a map. Export lines and polygons data to KML file. Data Properties / Point Details Each data displayed on the map has its own properties, making it easier to navigate and understand. Simply click on a point and the data properties will automatically appear. Find Point On The Field / Stake Out Now you can find coordinates or location in the field easily, the application will direct you to the desired coordinate point with the help of the built-in compass on your device or using Direction Route. Add Photo Add a photo from camera or library complete with a watermark containing name, coordinates and address information. Data List & Export The data list is designed to view data stored in the database, delete unnecessary data, find the location of data in the field or export data to a file. Point data can be exported to CSV files, while line and polygon data can be exported to KML files for use in other software or other devices.
