EDDMapS Apps

EDDMapS Pro

EDDMapS Pro is an app designed for professionals to use for recording invasive species infestations. You can tailor the app for your needs by adding just the offline maps and species you will be working with on any given day. You can also use the apps to record revisits to a site and to mark the site as Positive (species present), Negative (species not present), Treated, or Eradicated. These will show in EDDMapS marked with different colored pins, making it easy to see how your management goals are progressing.More info...
