WatchSpotter™ is a feature-rich application loaded with the tools you need to manage all elements of a successful project.
Sighting Maps
All sightings (spots) are automatically mapped in real-time. There are multiple map styles to use to help analyze your data, including satellite maps, light, dark, general purpose outdoor, heat maps and bathymetric maps. All "Spot" data, including photos and audio files, is available on the map by clicking on the geo-marker.
Map Filtering
All maps have a dynamic filter that enables the user to filter their data by any data point, date range, or type of sighting. Combine this with our category count, which enables you to see the number of objects/animals within a sighting. Perfect for comparing quantity vs effort.
Route Tracking
