GIS Mapping

The University of Guam Research Station Web App user guide will help interested parties navigate and extract relevant GIS information regarding ongoing experiments and other useful information. User Guide in PDF Format

The web app is a tool for visualizing and exploring UOG’s WPTRC research stations and offers much of the benefits of using GIS maps without the difficulties associated with using the full GIS software.

This guide outlines most of what the user can do with the app and includes screen shots of the app to demonstrate the functions being discussed.
