Using a mobile data collection tool (GIS Cloud) Xyst collected data about the identity, age, condition, location and maintenance requirements of every Council tree in the Waikato District. Data (including images) is collected in the field and uploaded to a cloud-based database from where it can be exported in various formats for import directly into Council’s GIS system and used for maintenance scheduling and asset management.
In this project, we started with a spreadsheet from a previous data collection exercise that we were able to import into GIS Cloud as the basis for a map and data collection project. The new tree data was added seamlessly and mapped alongside the original data.
