Good morning,
I was referred to this group and well as this site
in the hopes that I might fine some help. I am the Floodplain Manager for
our unincorporated areas within the county and going into the field and
collecting data is a portion of that job. Just within the last month I
have been given the opportunity to do more field exploration and I am now
at the point of being overwhelmed by everything. Let me try to explain
what I am needing to do and see if you can give me any guidance.
While out driving my floodplain areas I would also like to be able to track
other issues that I find so I can come back to them and check to see if
work needs to be done, if work has been done etc. Areas I will be looking
for include but not limited to:
Drainage issues
Road/ditch maintenance
Trash on the roadside
Oil/Gas sites
Sign maintenance
Currently I have went out took pictures with my cell, finally remembered to
turn on my GPS coordinates, and then attempting to link my pictures and
notes to Google Earth so that I can easily pull up an area and show our
Commissioner or Road Foreman what is wrong, what it looked like and
possible ways to fix it.
I am currently finishing up a project that involves collecting data in the
field and then uploading that data to our own web application that uses
Google maps as well as Mapbox to view gps data. Everything is viewable on
the web via the platform we developed. We are finishing up, and we really
like the ODK integration. I would be glad to show you the workflow that is
involved for our field collection and analysis.
Feel free to get in touch if you would like to see a demo of our latest ODK
and Google map integration.

I would start with a small form that captures GPS coordinates, a
picture, and a select one with those five issues.
And if you'd like the data to appear on Google Sheets where it'll be
easy to import to MyMaps and Earth, both Nafundi and Google have
tutorials that will walk through that process.

On our work on irrigation in Indonesia were the data we collected are a little similar to yours re maintenance etc. We made a few refinements to the form and found multiple choice entry the most convenient.
