| Jan 17, 2018 at 21:04 | comment | added | albert | great goals! i can show you were a lot of wildlife data for va is, unless you only want to document what you see, which is a great objective too! i wasn't aware of inaturalist, so thanks for that! you can ping me at jalbertbowden google's email service if you have any questions or want to know somethings. In an ideal world, we'd have all of virginia's observers adding datasets to an open data portal, but until then we are working with what we got! | |
| Jan 17, 2018 at 18:39 | comment | added | elbillaf | My immediate goal was to delineate certain specific areas where I want to document wildlife. Like this: inaturalist.org/observations/9338868 My long-term goal is that I would like to add a modest amount of GIS experience on my resume. I don't need to be an expert, but enough to say honestly that I have some familiarity with it. | |
| Jan 17, 2018 at 18:23 | comment | added | albert | No worries, I certainly wasn't giving you grief, just had never thought about it actually. Geojson.io is my go-to, but like I said, it has size limitations. I'm willing to bet My Maps does not/can handle larger sizes and with more grace. I'll be adding it to my arsenal, thanks to you! Segue: what's your interest in ffx? If you can't talk about work, I understand, but I have/know where tons of resources are for the commonwealth, if that strikes your fancy. | |
| Jan 17, 2018 at 17:39 | comment | added | elbillaf | I used My Maps because that's the only tool I know. I am only an egg, but I'm looking to accrete knowledge of other tools and techniques, as well as other data sources. | |
| Jan 17, 2018 at 16:03 | comment | added | albert | Your use of Google My Maps here is interesting, I was wondering what that drive link went to. geojson.io reads KML, SHP, and CSV, but has some size limitations. However, it also integrates with GitHub, so you can save your file to a repo or as a gist. | |
