Abstract

Leaflet for Environmental Restoration Data Collection in the Mojave
Track: Spatial Data Infrastructure
Authors: Anthony Fuentes

Leaflet is an open source JavaScript for interactive maps on your mobile device. The data that will be collected in the field will be going to a restoration database for the Mojave Desert in Southern Nevada. The current collection process requires a laptop and a GPS unit to upload the data. Most of the areas where the field staff will be collecting data will have limited to no cell phone service. Utilizing Leaflet allows field staff to easily collect their data out in the field with a web browser on their mobile device. Even with limited to no cell service one can still work on the map offline.
