First Page of GISKit Pro

After you start the app ( it's the golden GIS icon on the iPod's home page ) the first screen you will see is the last one loaded.

The project we're in is called LHFB-0820-02 for some reason.

The image on the right is a thumbnail, feel free to take a close look.

Inside LHFB project

One thing which is a bit annoying/useful about GISKit Pro is that it tends to display the last project and area worked on. So when Lisa and Casey started working in it they found it difficult to know where they were operating.

So they created a 'sub project' called Butano Park

We'll do our mapping in that 'sub project.'

Map Layers

The picture you see above is actually a number of different layers. There is the idea of a 'base map' and then there are the things we record floating above that.

GISKit Pro has a number of different base maps. As luck would have it they are almost all a little wrong too. Here are a few.

  Bing Street

• 

  Google Street

• 

  Google Hybrid

• 

  Open Cycling/Topo

There are others! They are all a little off. The only one we can probably change is the Open Street Map layer, but we're having trouble loading that in for some unknown reason.

Additionally there shold be a way to load in the Water Company / Joan's map, but it's not working. We think we need to get Ari to apply an update.
