JRBP Survey vs Show Articles in Map
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 .
Show Articles in Map
Note: You must also install Location Map Viewer to display the results. This app adds the option Show Articles in Map to any app that can shown/send/share a geo location or geo-uri . This app hooks into the android system to intercept "view geo-uri". When getting a geo-uri it asks encyclopedia wikipedia (or travelguide wikivoyage or knowledgebase wikidata or photogallery wikimedia) and shows the results in Location Map Viewer (or in any other installed app that understands the format 'kmz'). Location Map Viewer shows a map with bubbles (or article-icons if enabled/available) for every wikipedia article found. If you click on a bubble you get a popup with a short article description and a button that links to the full article. Here are some f-droid apps that are compatible with Show Articles in Map navigation: OsmAnd, public transportation: Transportr or oeffi translate postal address to geo Acastus Photon Share your current position LocationShare or My Position Required Android Permissions: INTERNET: to download article data from wikipedia or wikivoyage Server .
