Thanks for commenting on that error and spelling out the correct approach. Old posts never die, I guess... As I said earlier, I have long found this an intriguing question. My method was aimed for a specific situation: more than one stem originating from the same root system, where the stems are bel...

I created a simple data collection form for any device running the Android platform. This form is very simple in design ATM: no device info, no timestamps, no required fields, no logic, no images, no backend server setup. The objective here is to allow individuals (and perhaps even the i-Tree Team?)...

Ha! I've done that...

Attached is the exampe image I had posted, in case anybody is interested in this stuff.

I will post the Streets form in a couple of days in a dedicated thread.

Nice support, guys!

Please keep in mind that i-Tree Streets is essentially an assessment tool designed to determine ecosystem services for community trees and therefore it does have flexibility & functionality built in for managing trees on a daily or more frequent basis. I'm pretty sure there is a "not"...

Agreed. Android-based phones have been matching iPhones in sales for almost a year now, I believe, and high-quality Palm devices are again available. it would not seem to me like a good investment of iTree time and money to develop for a single mobile platform. That said, it might be interesting to ...

Thanks, Al.

Al or another of the i-Tree staff will have to give you details on this, since I do not have the current Manual available. Basically, you import the spreadsheet into Access, then import Access into Streets. A detailed description used to be in the Streets Appendix. Biggest 2 tricks: 1) make sure you...

Method to import Excel spreadsheet into Streets is laid out in the Users Manual, last I looked.

Just want to point out the you are not obligated to use the i-Tree PDA app to collect field data, and thus are not limited to Windows OS PDAs. For instance: a Palm OS PDA now made by Aceeca is available for under USD 200, in addition to a ruggedized version for twice that if you are using it profess...

The simple answer to this is: No.

Too bad--thanks.

I hope this clarifies things for you. Thanks, but I was not confused about the source of the problem. In the OP I was concerned with the possibility of more specific feedback , as I tried to indicate by starting the title of the post with that word. I suggested it would help the user if the problem...

Having wasted a bunch of time recently trying to import data that had some problems way out of the range I was looking at, I would like to suggest that the feedback process provide better detail while inventory data are being imported. I guess it would depend on how the import checking is written. [...

There is an excellent introduction to GIS using Quantum GIS available:

A Gentle introduction to GIS

Might be pretty handy for anyone considering a low-cost i-Tree workshop on this technical topic.

Thanks, Scott--that's kind of what I thought. And it sounds like a reasonable position. This question did make me snoop around a bit, and I was surprised to see that some bamboos are well positioned for carbon sequestration. Look at this , for example: Bamboo has several advantages over tree species...
