Product · Optional module

Garden mapping for living collections

Map coordinates for plants, garden locations and localities are part of the standard system. The optional Mapping module adds the maps themselves: display them, update coordinates directly, and export your map data when you need it elsewhere.

The Mapping module

Every plant in its place

The module covers plants, garden locations, features and accession localities, using the map you already use.

  • Display maps and update coordinates for plants, garden locations, features and accession localities
  • Multiple map options: Google Maps, Bing Maps or your own custom map
  • Multiple coordinate systems supported
  • Map data export in various formats
  • Custom map hosting service available

Web map hosting service

With the Mapping module we provide free web map hosting for one custom map, for you to use in IrisBG or in the Garden Explorer. Additional maps can be hosted at a cost. We take care of all the necessary configurations for the vector or raster data to be uploaded to our map server and made available for public use.

Maps in the Garden Explorer

The optional Garden Explorer publishes your collection to the public with maps, features, tours and searchable plant lists, with GPS and QR code support on desktops, tablets and smartphones.
