Creating and Editing Transect Grids

Access this feature via the sidebar navigation on the survey map view.

Grids and grid points are fixed locations where measurements are taken.

These are not the same as the German Grid Method.

For example, if your team regularly visits specific spots, you can plot those locations on a map to guide assessors to the exact positions where measurements should be collected.

You can create multiple grids per site, each with its own name and colour. The example above shows how grid data appears in the Associated Grid Point dropdown when you add a new measurement.

Creating a New Grid

Enter the name of your grid, select a colour, then tap Next.

Note: Grid names must be unique per site.

Plotting Points

Drag the map until the marker is positioned where the grid point should be, then tap the button to plot the point.

Tapping the button removes the last point you added. You can also reset the entire grid, clearing all points, by tapping .

Editing Points

To adjust the location of a point, tap the point you want to edit. It will then show you which point is selected at the top of the map. Deselect it by tapping the button.

Editing a point’s location follows the same process as adding one: drag the map until the marker is positioned where the grid point should be, then tap the button to update the position.

You can delete a point anywhere on the map by tapping the button while the point is selected.

After editing or deleting a point, the point is deselected and you can continue adding more points.

Edit an Existing Grid

To edit an existing grid, select it from the dropdown menu, shown below.

Editing a grid follows the same process as editing points, described above. Select a point to edit or delete it, or add new points to the grid using the button.
