How much does it cost to get our own EDDMapS GIS online map?
The cost of each EDDMapS GIS project will vary depending on the specific needs.

and tools are added to the base price. We strive to offer it at the lowest price possible.
Who is EDDMapS GIS?
EDDMapS GIS was developed at the Bugwood Network at the Center for Invasive Species. The primary goal was to create a solution for the general users to be able to map invasive species,
look at their data in an online map, analyze trends and patterns, create their own workplans, and share their conclusions.

YES. We can publish up to 10 GIS layers from your organization to be used as map services for your online map.

multiple layers like:

2- You can add in any map, image, or feature service by using the ADD MAP LAYER tool in the bottom toolbar
3- To permanently add map layers to the project you can submit them to your project manager and they can get them added
