John, when is the I-Phone version coming out. I have leaf snap and I bought Dirrs, something that would mix the two would be great. Leaf snap hardly works, unless u have a perfect white background, what about your app, do we need to pluck a leaf and put it on a white background in order to pick up the image? I would like a app that, when you take a pic and the app ID's it, it comes up with all the characteristics of the tree, needs, bugs, disease, fungus,wants, habits etc, basically everything you would ever want to know about the specific tree. We can find all this info, but it is never in one place. I have about 2g's in books, hard to carry around!

A minor number of people have had an issue will screens blueing out so we have put in a loop at the start of the program that will either solve the problem, or will tell you needs to be done on your phone to make it work. It is available for download right now. Now is that customer service or what?
The Clinometer now has a radial angle measument system in it so you can measure canopy with it as well. It is probably not accurate enough for stem diameter at the moment but no harm in trying.
You can load your points back into the map now as well.
And there is an online help page on our web site so we can keep the help updated more easily.
Once we ahve the beta for Android phone sorted out an iphone / ipad version will follow.
Also an Android tablet version.

Some people in the UK just asked what Cloud1 for windows does so thought it would be useful.
Also we are working on a Java version that will run on a Mac but not necessarily on an IOS device.
If you want to get a gist of what Cloud1 does and you have and Android Phone then download the app on Google Market on this link, or look at the previews.

Cloud1 for windows in the windows version. It is however much more developed, since we started out in windows.
What it does is
-1. (it links the Android app to windows software).
1. It asks you to set up a series of folders for your clients and then within each of these you can put in location folders incase you they are big clients and have a big property or lots of properties. Then within each of these you can add all the client data such as tree surveys, photos, reports etc. It organises the whole lot for you in an easy to follow structure. Also when you set up a location it creates a work file for that location, so that you can book in any work that they need doing. So far this is fairly straight forward and bit like a file management system and desk diary.
2. Any surveys you do can be plotted out in real time in Google Earth. So as you go around a site you can add new entries and add a location point in google earth.
So you can turn a £200 net book into a GIS mapping system. Not only that, but if you need to do work on any of the trees (or any other asset you might be lloking at) then the workfile will automaticaly have the same mapping points on it. Why do this bit?
Well if you are the consultant and you wnat to tell someone where and what to do you just send the work file and they load it into Google Earth and find out wher and what to do, (and if it is a big job also when, i.e. you can have several date entries on the same work file.
3. You can have your own user folder, and into this you can put your own assets, so your vehicles, your equipment, your staff. And if they need work doing on them so surveys, staff reviews, vehicle services etc you can shedule these in. Also because you can have the same google earth set up then you can also puta tag as to wher people are on any given day. This is posible because you can create custom survey forms.
4. You can combine Cloud 1 with DropBox. This means that when you do your survey in the field as you add data and points into Google Earth, then the file in DropBox updates.
So that anyone in the office can pick up data for say an estimate or a report before you even leave the site.
5. You can link your work to other services like waste disposal so that you can figure out the quickest and cheapest waste disposal route.
6. Advanced Tree Surveys: Cloud1 also has MapWindows embedded in it so that you can import maps and plans form AutoCad, ArcView and other things. Also if you get a £20 GPS dongle for your net book you have a full mapping tool even better that Google Earth option.
7. Loads of other stuff plotting RPZ, risk zones on google earth, THREATS and probability analysis as standard and much more.
Also we are working on a Java version that will run on a Mac but not necessarily on an IOS device.

The latest update of Cloud1 Survey for Android is now available.
You can have multiple user details.
Add different assets not just trees.
Extra features to the clinometer: Calculates distance to tree from Geo-position and angle to base of tree, but you can still input as well. Also allows you to measure canopy spread.
Basic Fields for Tree Risk, Tree Value, and Planning (this is preparation for THREATS, CAVAT, BS5837 and others.
**Add a Map Tile** now there is a size limit based on the RAM in your phone but you can add a single map tile probably up to 400k on older phones, perhaps bigger on newer phones and tablets.
You can also edit existing points and data if you put enter the wrong details.
We will update the online help over the next few days but play around and see if you can make it crash and report back.
Regards
John

Three risk forms have been added to the Android app.
The first form is a generic risk product (Risk values are multiplied together) so if you use one of the well known probability risk assessment procedures then you can use this to collect data.
The second form is a generic risk sum (Risk values added together), so if you use a well known American Risk System you can input your values into this, also if you use a logscale system for probability.
The last can be customised (there are no automatic calculations in this at the moment) but you can have upto 4 catagories and your own text.

We have added Three UK systems to the App. THREATS (Risk), CAVAT (Valuation) and
BS5837 (planning).
Is there a commonly used method for calculating root protection areas in the US?

I am still trying to figure it out. If I don't hold it level, it beeps loud!

We are upgrading the online help today. What a bizzare bug we will look into it. What kind of phone do you use?
john roberts

There have been some reports of blue screens with the latest version of the app and this has been sorted out. An update has been posted.
The reason was you were looking at the mid-atlantic if there was no GPS signal. Also we have added a button in the settings to let you choose an address or coordinates to go to rather than needing the GPS. All other questions will be dealt with on the online help

If you notice a bug in the android app so that the mapping wont open, this is caused when all your GPS devices are switched off. We are working on a fix but in the mean time turn your GPS on before opening the app.

I'm with Scott, I would be really interested in an iPad version of this app.

We have issued an update of Cloud1 for Android later today.
It has a bug fix for the GPS null exception.
Also you can now have markers of 6 different colours. potentially you can have more markers for different things so if you have any ideas let us know.
At some point this week we will add a function to allow you to import markers from other sources via kml files.
We are also offering an online help desk facility, free to Cloud1 for windows users and at a nominal fee of £30 a year for anyone else, there is no obligation and we are keeping the phone version of Cloud1 for Android free for the foreseeable future.
We will be releasing a tablet version of Cloud1 for Android soon, there will be a charge on android market for this unfortunately, mainly because there just aren't enough Android tablets out there for it to be viable any other way.
The iPad/iphone version development versions are underway, no timescales yet though.

New Update Out
There are different Asset Lists for different kinds of asset, and huge lists of broad leaved and coniferous trees. The tree lists have American versions we will be doing the same in the other asset lists but suggestions would the helpful.

New Update Out. Thanks to every who has contacted us so far we are one step closer to achieving our goal, the latest update is available and you can now import a .csv file. This means you can load data points from nearly all GIS systems, I can't actually think of one which wont export a .csv file. If you feel we have missed any fields then let us know and we will see what we can do.

Latest Version of Cloud1 for Android has been added to Google Market.
You can add polygons and lines, and add assets without a mapping point, where appropriate. You can't load them from a csv file just at the moment, we are working on that.
Also we are holding a training day for the Windows, Android and iOS versions of Cloud1 on the 26th April 2012 at Stansted AIrport, UK for details e-mail [email protected]
