Extra Features
The google map API has been implemented in Web and Android to allow the user to see the trees, and allow some features to interact with the map directly.
-
Two Taps to Add a Tree
When the map is tapped twice there is the window to plant a tree that pops up. When filled and confirmed, the tree is added to the exact location specified. The location needs to be tapped, the user then waits a second to tap again before the window is displayed.
-
Refresh
This feature refreshes the map and updates it with all the trees that were planted/cutdown that were not there before
-
Mark Tree for Cut Down
This feature allows a citizen/scientist to change the status of a tree to marked for cutdown for later surveying by a scientist.
-
Adding a Tree
This feature allows a user to add a tree to a specified coordinate.
-
Removing a Tree
This feature allows a scientist to remove a tree from the map, essentially cutting it down even though it is still stored in the database.
