Information
Welcome! For new NatureTrackers, and those who haven’t taken part since 2020, you'll first need to sign up
to access this system, including the versatile, crowd-funded booking map that coordinates everyone's surveys.
Also, especially if you are starting afresh, please make sure you know what's involved, via the the 'Take Part' page.
How do I choose my survey square? What's actually involved here? How long will it take - can I manage two in a day?
But once that's done - jump right in and explore! Which square will you choose?
USING THE MAP
If you would like please watch a tutorial on how to use the app version.
When we launch the new year’s booking system, it will at first only be available through the website. So, if you’re having no luck booking with the app, try the website.
The main controls are in the vertical blue bar to the right of the map. As you decide on your square, experiment with
the Manage Layers option (top right) - when zoomed in, try ticking and un-ticking boxes, and slide the sliders. It's
fun, and also important - you'll be able to see the coordinates, topography and land tenure of your square. Do you need
permission to travel to or access the land? Is all your team safe and comfortable travelling over the terrain?
Questions? Go to the Help (question mark logo) in the right hand bar. A common fix can be to reset your map, by
refreshing the web page (by e.g. clicking the “refresh” or “reload” arrow button at the top of your browser window).
To print the map, you can use your computer’s ‘print screen’ function. Here’s how for
Windows
and
Mac
.
