More details:
Plant Dictionary: The plant dictionary holds description and other detail information about plants. Plant lists and markers both refer to the plant dictionary. Because plant dictionary information is held in a central location, changes to the plant information, like adding a common name, are seen wherever the plant is used throughout the app.
When plant lists are shared, plant dictionary entries accompany the plant list. Sharing plant lists is a fast way to build up your plant dictionary. When plant names are referenced, links to Google Images and Wikipedia are displayed.
Location Markers: Markers contain GPS location and observation information. A marker can also be a land feature such as a trail head, parking lot or navigational waypoint. Markers have data fields to store plant population data. For example: 5 plants in a 10 ft circle, or hundreds in a field north of the road. GPS information can be sent to Google or Apple maps for on-the-fly mapping.
Markers have a "Public" and a "Private" attribute. Setting this attribute to "Private" causes the location marker to be excluded from sharing and printing.
Plant lists: Plant lists bring plant information, location markers and pictures together. When displaying the list of plants, tapping marker icon at the top right of the screen switches to the list of markers. Tapping the flower icon returns to the list of plants. Taking a picture from within a plant list screen automatically labels and catalogs the picture in that plant list.
