FieldNotes

FieldNotes is an exciting new product for new and experienced naturalists alike, designed to further interest in the natural environment and encourage information-sharing with other projects and organisations

FieldNotes offers a progressive introduction to wildlife and environmental recording methods by combining intuitive observation and site description forms with a unique experience-based interface, encouraging you to work at the level of detail that you are comfortable with. Data-input forms are supported by a selection of tools and extensive underlying species and environmental data-sets, allowing you to quickly check relevant information to support your observations. The clear work-flow encourages you to add greater depth to your data by including photographs, diagrams and even map-feature datasets.

FieldNotes' fully-featured mapping interface uses OpenGL graphics to create publication-quality maps (optionally incorporating ing raster or vector background tiles), whilst the straight-forward report-creation tools allow you to publish your findings as a document or set of linked web-pages. Versatile data-sharing tools allow you to share selected subsets of your data with local and national recording schemes, using fully-automated data-transfer methods where possible.

Context-sensitive help, a range of introductory tutorials, example files and online user manual ensure that you will lose no time compiling your own database of observations - whether you live in the heart of the city or remote countryside.
