Hi
everyone
Just
a quick thanks to everyone who responded to this new project. We have rewritten
a large part of the project and it should be a lot faster and
easier to use now. We also added several online Help videos if you
wish to see more details on how to use the system, or you can log in as the Test
user and view the Test data to get more of an idea of how to use the
system.
g-Bird
allows you to quickly and easily record what you are currently seeing in the
field for any country in Africa and upload your sightings from the field to the
server. You will then be able to view your sightings in 3-D Google Earth on
www.g-bird.org The
system will also flag any sighting that falls outside of its known
distribution range for anywhere in Africa allowing one the chance to re-assess
the id of the bird while it is still in front of you in the field in case of a
mis-id.
g-Bird
is designed to be a fun, easy to use 3-D interface that provides a large amount
of feedback to birders in a variety of different ways. It also allows you to
Export your sightings into MS Excel or CSV format from the system in order to
use in personal databases of your choice. Registration is free and the iPhone
app is also available for free download from the iStore and will GPS and
Timestamp all sightings that you add to your Trip lists.
If
you have any questions or suggestions please dont hesitate to send us a
mail
