What do you want the software to run on? A smartphone, tablet or GPS device running windows mobile? Rough budget? Are you creating paper maps, or files to email a client?

 

 

I'll need it to produce hard copies for reports, most likely on a tablet, I don't have a budget in mind just dipping my toe in the water at the moment.

Another vote for pear tech here. I run it on a rugged getac gps, can't really fault it and their customer support is spot on! I received an email yesterday too, saying that pocketgis (the data capture software) will now be available on android devices, which opens up tablet possibilities etc...

Can anybody recommend some mapping software for plotting individual and small groups of trees for tree reports?

 

Have a look at OTISS - OTISS | A new approach to Tree Survey and Estate Management software.

 

Runs on a mobile phone/Tablet, and can plot trees manually or via GPS - with the added benefit of also allowing you to record all the tree data - observations, measurements, recommendations, risk assessment etc.

 

End result can be used on the standard Open Source maps (goggle street map etc), or be downloaded as a DXF file for manipulation of the point/polygon data onto O/S Master Map with a CAD programme.

 

Can also upload your own plans as PDF into OTISS and then plot straight onto the PDF.

 

Best thing sine sliced bread imo. Cheap as chips too. IRO £250 for the app, and then I use Serif Draw Plus as a cheap CAD programme for the DXF manipulation if needed. Serif DP is about 80 quid.

 

Major commercial benefit as well with the data being stored online, means that you can grant your client access to the data, or even set them up with their own account for as low as £40 - allowing them to then manage their own data going forward.

 

With them set up on OTISS and you using OTISS, you then often become their first port of call for any repeat work.

 

Winner! :)
