JRBP Survey vs Location Map Viewer
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
JRBP Survey
The Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve ant survey regularly surveys the species of ants in each of hundreds of locations across the preserve. This application helps people navigate to the correct locations, identify ants, record observations, and upload them to a central database. Note: This application is intended only for registered volunteers participating in the ant survey. For more information about the ant survey, see https://jrbp.stanford.edu/research/jrbp-ant-survey .
Location Map Viewer
The app has support for GPX and KML files, as well as the "geo URI scheme" and popular map services (google-maps, openstreetmap, yandex, ...). It can work offline (without Internet/WiFi) once geodata has been downloaded and cached. Other Android apps can use LocationMapViewer through an Intent-interface. Required Android Permissions: * INTERNET: to download map data from Open Streetmap Server * ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE and ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: to find out if wifi/internet is online to start downloaded geodata * WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (to cache downloaded map data in local file system and to load gpx/kml-Files to be displayed in the map) * ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION: to display my own location in the map
