TOPP OpenLayers Data Browser (under development)

Uses a spatially-enabled Postgres/PostGIS database allows GIS objects to be stored in a Postgres database. enables fast GIS queries such as intersections of geometries OpenLayers: Open Source JavaScript map-display library http://openlayers.org

Updated daily

species list customized by username

Download track data

View metadata

Draw any polygon and view all animal tracks that intersect the polygon (many more spatial queries are possible)

Multiple base layers including Google Maps/Satellite

Future:

• Incorporate OpenLayers map into existing TOPP web pages

• Public version

• Add queries by time, other spatial queries

• Incorporate environmental data
