  General features
|
- Developed for foresters by foresters = no programming capabilities required to develop and run comprehensive field data collection projects more...
- Industry-standard data formats used for data storage (ESRI shapefiles for map entities, Paradox or MS Access for attributes) more...
- Pen-operated user-friendly software interface for keyboardless field computers more...
- Support of external measurement devices (GPS, laser rangefinder, compass, angle encoder, inclinometer, caliper, field computer) more...
- User-written scripts for additional user-defined functionality (on-change, on-validate events, on-demand routines) written in Field-Map Object Pascal more...
- Easy localization to different languages (English, Russian, Ukrainian and Czech already available) more...

User-defined database structure
|
- User-defined data collection methodology = database structure = Field-Map project more...
- Multiple layers in each Field-Map project, multiple attributes for each layer more...
- Relational hierarchical database = multiple layers arranged in tree-like database structure supporting one-to-many, one-to-one and many-to-one relationships more...
- Any-time database structure customization without loosing existing data more...
|
|
|
Multi-plot approach
|
- Multiple plots/sites = multiple implementation of the methodology for different plots/sites more...
- Multiple plots in single database (e.g. thousands of plots of a national forest inventory) more...
- Easy management of multi-plot and multi-team projects more...
