SPOTTERON

SPOTTERON

Every project's app and an interactive map includes an information area for content like the project description, information about the topics of observations, media elements (pictures, graphics, link to online videos) and more. The information panel's content is working even without an internet connection and is always accessible.

Multi language ready

All apps are multi-language ready. Two languages are always included in the app setup, but we can add as many as you need as long as you provide us with the translations.

For spots with updates, the statistics panel shows the observation value development over time through chart displays. This visualization of data can be shown for different time frames like a week, month, quarter or even year.

The update mode allows users to add new data in a location where data has already been collected. Thereby you can collect valuable data over time, which shows the development of an observed object, plant, etc.

You (or your app users) can filter the map for a dynamic display of observations, according to a specific time frame, the category of observations or top spots, for example.

You can mark certain spots as "featured" in the map with a highlight icon (a.k.a. Top Spots) to show users updating this spot is especially valuable data for example, but also other purposes. 

"Stacking" for map markers (a.k.a. observations) means that only stacks of high numbers of map markers will be displayed until zoomed into the map. Thereby we ensure high performance and usability because individual map markers will only be downloaded if explicitely desired.

There's an image editor  for photos and image uploads included in your apps. If needed, we can integrate an option for a custom "sticker" placement by multitouch input (scale, rotate, position), so that users can add these stickers for example as measuring tools, etc. 

You can display useful metadata in your selection lists (e.g. Latin species names below the common names) to provide your users with more information and also help them in determining their observation.

Dynamic observation counter

There's a constant observation counter in your apps. This allows both you and your users to keep track of how many observations have been collected so far.
