 Advancing Conservation Through the Development of Customized Moving Map Software Track: Ecology and Conservation Author(s): Sean Smyth, Alain Richard, Brian Kazmerik, Michael Robin Ducks Unlimited Canada has been using GIS/GPS technology for more than a decade to help deliver wetland conservation programs throughout Canada. Program work including waterbird surveys, water quality sampling and remote sensing ground-truthing throughout remote forested regions of Western Canada is largely aerial based, requiring mobile GPS/GIS tools to aid staff in acquiring science based information. Application development for specific program needs has led to the development of a customized moving map software tool for ArcMap called "DUC Navigator," which includes support for multiple GPS data types; moving map navigation; the ability to upload and download GPS routes, tracks, and waypoints; and the central storage of the data in a personal geodatabase. This paper will provide an overview of the extension and its application to Ducks Unlimited's conservation work.
