I saw this too. They (we - I'm a life member) want to describe and
record every plant, even weeds, in some of their gardens. Positioning
every plant in a garden is extreme micro mapping, far beyond the
resolution of a consumer GPS. I will contact them to see if they want
to put every NT property on the map though. From that they could have a
list of plants at that property connected to a label layer on a slippy
map.
Cheers, Chris
