Main Features
Location Based Sorting
Tree Searches can be significantly refined, by using the Location function to reduce the list of trees to only those recorded as occurring within a radius of 12,5 km of the spot. This function is identical in the 2 versions.
Intelligent Search Functionality
The intelligent Search process is driven by a highly complex matrix of data that is not a basic HTML word search as in eBooks. The process is random entry, which allows a wide range of personal freedom each time, for choices as to entries and their sequences. It is rapid, reliable, and easy to follow with simple texts and visual icons, both of which are different in each version.
Tree List
Over 1 300 tree species – growing to over 3 m high, within South Africa – are covered. There are over 1 200 Indigenous and 135 Invasive/non-invasive aliens, each one with comprehensive textual data, full-colour artwork, black and white detail drawings, as well as photographs and distribution maps. Currently, there are over 6 000 photographs and more are added with each update. The Information section of each species differs in the language style used in each of the 2 versions – being simple English for the Original and scientific for Botanical.
Help
In the Original version, InfoHotSpots are the educational go-to Help destinations, which provide the links between the data required for the Search categories and the user’s understanding. This is unnecessary in the Botanical version.
Glossary
The 850-word Glossary covers entries in the Search and the information sheets and contains numerous photographs to aid understanding.
Settings
This section allows the user to choose between Scientific, English, and Afrikaans as Primary and Secondary languages for the names of the species in the Tree List. It also allows the user to choose the method of grouping the trees simply alphabetically, or by Families, Genera, or Sightings.
My Trees Sightings
This allows the recording of individual, personal tree sightings, by means of the user typing notes. This could include data such as trip name, date, and custom notes, as well as location taken from the exact map GPS. Photographs can be taken on the app, which then appear at the bottom of the photos on the Tree List on your app. These Sightings can be synced to any device, Android, or Apple, as well as a computer. Here they can be exported to Excel, shared with others, and registered through syncing so that the Smartsearch website records them for your personal access only. This will store your Tree Sightings alongside those you synced from our other apps, BirdPro SA, GrassPro SA, and Dragonflies SA. This function is identical in the 2 versions.
