What open source geo products have tools that may be specially useful for foresters and resource managers?
A discussion started on the QGIS-User list led to starting this page.
General Categories
What types of workflow or features are required for managing forests? Think broad, and then we can get into specifics in each category.
GPS traversing
General data capture to record paths, boundaries and locations using GPS.
- Ability to turn it on/off
- Ability to capture multiple types of features
Design and capture
Block, road, treatment areas
- Connect various attributes to GPS collected information
- Custom input forms
Mobile map platform
Following current and planned locations
- Map layer control on/off
- Zoom, pan, query
- Basic feature calculations - length, area, sum attributes
- Show GPS,
- Auto panning map via GPS
Inventory collection and analysis
Backend database and front end collection of inventory details
- Offline database, with inventory schema
- Auto form generation for particular feature types
- Syncing with master db when back online
Sample plot reconnaissance and survey
...
Terrain/slope computation
