EDDMapS Pro - Professional Invasive Species Mapping & Management

EDDMapS Pro is the powerful mobile tool for biologists, land managers, and field teams to report, monitor, prioritize, and combat invasive species effectively.

Key Features:

. Report & Submit Observations - Create and submit detailed reports with GPS, photos, status (Positive, Negative, Treated, Eradicated), and notes.
. Download Datasets - Pull county-level or custom datasets of observations for offline review and planning.
. Record Revisits & Contests - Navigate back to sites for updates, contest inaccurate records, or (as a verifier) approve submissions directly in-app.
. Photo Projects for Time-Series Monitoring - Establish projects to capture consistent photos over time; the first image serves as a transparent overlay guide for precise alignment on follow-up visits.
. Monitoring Zones - Access and use custom forms set up on eddmaps.org for location-specific monitoring protocols.
. Project Area Boundary Overlays - Import and load KML files to display property lines, management units, or other boundaries directly on the map for better spatial context.
. SIIPA Integration - Access and utilize Spatial Invasive Infestation and Priority Analysis (SIIPA) data and tools to help prioritize treatment areas based on infestation patterns and management goals.
. Offline Maps & Workflow - Download map imagery for no-service areas; reports queue locally for users to upload when convenient.
. Customizable Views - Filter species lists, toggle report types, and tailor the experience to your workflow.

All data syncs seamlessly with the national EDDMapS database (eddmaps.org), supporting real-time distribution mapping, early detection, and collaborative invasive species control across states.

Happy mapping! 3.3.0 Mar 19 We’ve improved the map display experience in this update!

The map now defaults to showing all report types (Observations and Revisits, Photo Projects, and Monitoring Zones) when you open the app or load your data. This gives you a complete overview right away, so you can spot patterns and prioritize more easily.

If you prefer a focused view, simply turn off any types you don’t need—your preferences are saved for next time.

Thanks for using EDDMapS Pro—happy mapping! 3.2.1 Feb 27 Enhanced quantity and damage reporting: For fields like quantity, percent cover, or damage severity, you can now choose between entering precise numerical values or quickly selecting from standardized ranges — making data entry faster and more consistent, whether you’re in the field with limited time or need detailed metrics.

What's New text written with help from Grok (by xAI). 3.2.0 Feb 18 We’re excited to bring you enhanced performance and new tools in the latest version of EDDMapS Pro!
• Modernized Networking Layer: We’ve updated the app’s networking code to better comply with Swift’s modern concurrency standards (using async/await and related features). This improves reliability, makes the code safer and easier to maintain, and provides a smoother experience when syncing data, loading maps, or submitting reports—even in challenging network conditions.
• New SIIPA Rankings by State Section: We’ve added a dedicated section for viewing Spatial Invasive Infestation and Priority Analysis (SIIPA) rankings, organized by state. This helps professionals quickly access prioritized invasive plant or infestation data tailored to specific regions, supporting better decision-making for management and early detection efforts.
These changes build on EDDMapS Pro’s core mission of empowering land managers, professionals, and researchers with accurate, real-time tools for invasive species tracking and response.
