USDA Creates Smartphone App to Access Soil Survey Information
The USDA recently launched, SoilWeb, a new smartphone application that
combines online soil survey information with the GPS capabilities of both
iPhones and Androids. The app is a portable version of the USDA's Natural
Resources Conservation Service's Web Soil Survey.
The mobile tool will be beneficial to engineers, developers, farmers and many
others who are working in the field.
Some of the features include retrieving graphic summaries of soil types based
on user queries and user-friendly narratives of soil conditions.
