Getting started with INleaf
INleaf Overview
INleaf presents datasets on a map for easy dissemination, discovery, and download. Researchers upload georeferenced datasets with the necessary metadata listing of data files and INleaf does the rest. A researcher can make as many maps with as many datasets as needed. Each dataset is presented as a toggleable layer in a web map with the ability to pan, zoom, and click on the layers to get more info including a download link.There are no geographic limits on data nor accounts. This will work for data anywhere in New England and beyond and can be used from any physical location, university, or organization affiliation. No account nor login is needed for viewing the maps created.
