We’re excited to bring you enhanced performance and new tools in the latest version of EDDMapS Pro! • Modernized Networking Layer: We’ve updated the app’s networking code to better comply with Swift’s modern concurrency standards (using async/await and related features). This improves reliability, makes the code safer and easier to maintain, and provides a smoother experience when syncing data, loading maps, or submitting reports—even in challenging network conditions. • New SIIPA Rankings by State Section: We’ve added a dedicated section for viewing Spatial Invasive Infestation and Priority Analysis (SIIPA) rankings, organized by state. This helps professionals quickly access prioritized invasive plant or infestation data tailored to specific regions, supporting better decision-making for management and early detection efforts. These changes build on EDDMapS Pro’s core mission of empowering land managers, professionals, and researchers with accurate, real-time tools for invasive species tracking and response.
