Other features / Re: Exporting of data CSV+
January 20, 2014, 12:37:18
Improvements to CSV would be great, and we would just need the reference to the file (file name/s). I am afraid we have no skills with Android, so pretty difficult for us to program. Our standard for data would follow those used for natural history collections (Darwin core see http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/#occurrenceindex if you are really interested).

We mainly use locus to get out mapping data into the field (see our blog http://www.kew.org/news/kew-blogs/gis-team/mapping-tools-two.htm), and at present connect to ODK for detailed data recording, with the simpler and observational data recorded into locus. It would be great be able to connect ODK and Locus (sending and retrieving points).

Thanks

Hi,

We use Locus for much of our fieldwork (for collection data and viewing maps) and it is great. But it is difficult to export all of the data recorded into csv (or even other formats). It would get great if you could export:

1) link to photos
2) the accuracy of the point
3) Lat Longs to a higher precision

I can see all of this in the SQLite database, but much of the data seems to be stored into a blob (description and photos), does anyone know an easy way of getting to this data. At present we have to export CSV.

Thanks
