Hi.

I'm interested in plotting trees on maps. I currently plan to have people log into a Google map, switch to satellite view and place markers on trees. To those markers they will add species identification, a standard short set of notes about that species, a link to a website with more information about that species and perhaps a note of their own about that individual tree.

Is this doable so far?

I'd then like a website in each city to link to that map with an API to access it. Is this still doable? Being on a Google Map, would I maintain ownership of the intellectual property? Would the data be somewhat mobile between platforms? Am I on the right track in using Google maps or is there better software?

Thanks,

David.
