Ground is a map-first data collection platform aiming to seamlessly connect the offline world with cloud-based storage and computation. It addresses the needs of non-technical local community members, smallholder farmers, and professionals and researchers working in the areas of climate, sustainability, and humanitarian aid. It consists of a web app for survey management, and an Android app for offline data collection backed by Firebase.
Note: Ground is not an officially supported product; it is being developed and maintained on a best-effort basis.
