About this app

With the EDDMapS app, we’ve united our existing invasive species and pest citizen science reporting and identification tools under one app. Working with our regional partners, a state-based field guide, containing images, descriptions, and maps, is available in the app. You can report any invasive or pest plants, wildlife, insects, and diseases through the app. Sign in with your EDDMapS account or register in the app to start reporting!

Ratings and reviews

I have uploaded signings and it has been a month with it not showing up on the map. Is this even active? I see nothing on the map around where I am at uploaded in many years. I see stuff from iNaturalist possibly cross referenced, but even then you look at the iNaturalist map and it has way more sightings. I would rather use this app as it is specific to invasive species.

I'm not sure why this app needs to exist when something like iNaturalist already does. Additionally, U of GA must not have a computer science department because this app is horrendous. Buttons have to be pressed a dozen times. Why do I have to enter my GPS coordinates, County, State, and Country for each observation when all of that is already in the picture file? The website isn't any better. This actually discourages invasive species reporting. I'm just going to email the DNR instead.

App is dead and has been dead for a long time. They don't actually let user's uploads go into the system. Nothing I put in last year has yet to show up. I did this for research and then couldn't use any of it for the research.

What’s new
