The FieldSeeker GIS for Invasive Plants cross-platform mobile app (CPMA) is an easy and convenient way for noxious weed and invasive plant control operations to record and view field activities related to chemical and mechanical treatments, bio-releases, field scouting, service requests, treatment plans, drone/UAV flights, and product inventory. With FieldSeeker Invasive Plants Mobile, field techs and supervisors can record and view activities such as chemical treatments, mechanical treatments, plant occurrences, assessments, bio-releases, and proposed treatment areas; view restricted areas; select from multiple Esri base maps; respond to service requests; attach pictures; get directions; take measurements; etc. Everything you need in a mobile app for invasive plant management field operations is included. The Plant Scouting for FieldSeeker Invasive Plants is a complementary mobile app that contains tools for Field Scouting in online and offline mode. This lightweight app can be used by field crews to identify the locations of plant species with a big button interface. Plant occurrence points are created with common name, scientific name, date and time, location, and technician automatically recorded. Users can switch back and forth between the map and the big button interface. The mobile app is pointed to a test and demonstration service that is not intended for production use. To use in production, the app must be pointed to a licensed and configured FieldSeeker Invasive Plants Webmap and feature service in ArcGIS Online.
