for supporting open access biological databases
There are two objectives of the openbiomaps project: First, to maintain an open and free biological database service, and; Second, to develop biological data handling software applications. The openbiomaps project thus provides a stable background for open and free biological databases, specifically for scientists and conservationists, and its customizable toolset facilitates easy access and management of data.

We tried FairPhone3!
This phone is the product of the only mobile manufacturer in the world that strives to be a responsible market player in every detail from sourcing raw materials to manufacturing.
Our OpenBioMaps-based field data collection application works well with the FairPhone3. Although the device is not waterproof, its factory silicone case protects it well from damage, it can be used in the field with some care. When collecting data in the field, in addition to durability, camera quality, mobile signal strength, battery capacity and the quality of the GPS receiver are also important. This device has an excellent camera for fieldwork, acceptable battery capacity (you can work with one charge for a day), good mobile signal reception and good GPS quality. It showed even more stable performance compared to a similarly priced non-eco-friendly device, but its GPS and mobile reception capabilities were somewhat weaker. Overall, it is a field device that we can recommend to those who care what kind of mobile device they are using.
