I have revamped the map interface of the site mainly due to the deprecation of the Google Earth  API. It now uses standard Google Maps and loads much faster without the need of any plugin (it will also load on mobile browsers now). You can still download the KMZ files and load them into Google Earth as needed.

 

I have also added location collection data from FishNet 2 using their API and layering onto the watershed maps. Working on adding KML downloads for the points as well as CSV data dumps.

 

Example: Yoke Darter - http://fishmap.org/s...oke-Darter.html

I have noticed some issues - there is a limitation in loading KMZ files over 3MB so certain species with huge ranges will not display watershed maps (Smallmouth Bass, etc) until I figure out a work around. Again, you can simply download the KMZ for Google Earth until I fix it. It will still show you the collection information though.

 

I am also still working on adding current ranges versus native watersheds. 

 

If anybody uses the site, let me know any issues or suggestions you have as I am actively still developing and testing.

P.S. - thanks Ben C. for the testing and feedback

Ryan,

 

I have a man love for your site.  I use it ALL the time.  I may also love you for creating it...........

 

 

 

 

did that get weird???  Ah, who cares.  I love that site!

[rc6750]

[Kanus]

Incredible. I appreciate the work you put into this. Thanks for making such a great resource.

FYI - another small update. I added USGS NAS collection info for species that have data. The red dots represent FishNet2 collection data and the blue dots represent USGS NAS collection data. NAS is mostly interested in invasive species so they do not have data for all species, but it is especially helpful if you are looking for exotics. See Black Acara example below:

 

 

 

I have also made each point clickable which will display the collection date. I am going to work on making the data displayable by date range so that you can only see everything since 2001, for example. 

 

As usual - let me know if you see any issues or problems.

Trying to access the site and it's saying 502 Bad Gateway

[Mysteryman]

Yep. Bad gateway. Is it gone or just broken?

[rc6750]

Sorry guys - should be up now.

[Aquastudent]

This is a nice site! Will be great as it develops.

[Sean Phillips]

Just went to the site and it's very nice! I'd never heard of it before now.

[fishlvr]

Wow this is awesome! I need one of these for herping and my life would be complete!

[FirstChAoS]

I wonder who entered the detailed fish info for my state. 

 

I see it shows them, now I wonder who Bailey and Oliver are. I never heard of them. Last I knew I was the only active fish seeker in my state.
