a gps with waypoint+description function would do the location and id thing my garmin can do such things but as a forage map it is a clunky system to get useful info out of.
i tend to remember what i have found in a place by time of year (or come back later) and dont keep records beyond remembering " that dead tree is good for velvet shanks for a few years " or " field 4/5 , 5 posts back , st georges"or "the may mussels are smaller but have a better flavour"
a good app that could record location , time, find, etc as well as link to relevant and accurate info re id, toxicology, recipes etc would be a rather nice tool.
hackers stole my samphire is a downside of that sort of info on one big database
if i was going to make a forage data base i recon place name/os map reference/gps, find, date and any other info kept in a ledger and cross referenced to a perpetual diary by page number from date and find would be a good way to decide where to go pottering today.
for example a diary entry for november 15 th might say field blewits/ pg 267 and page 267 of the ledger would say corner of the flood bank by the horse field, let the hounds loose as bunnies pass by .
a more detailed location could be provided  |

Apps can be just for personal use, so not broadcasting required.
Google maps on a smart phone allows you to drop a pin in a location, and add notes to it. You can stick a label to within a few feet to say Plenty of wild garlic here, June 12.
You can save them in lists, so you could have mushrooms, herbs, branches of Greggs, etc.
You can also share them with the world, or specific people by text or email.
Any use? |

Didn't quite grasp what you were saying first time I read your post. Would it show up on all my devices. ie avoid me having to move info from one device to another and of course the possibility of losing info and never finding the Prince and Scarlet elf caps again? Opps the later has already happened! |
