Ah great to see some mock up screenshots, it gives something to think about as the project goes on.
Am I big fan of OpenStreetMap, have you considered using that? Kew Gardens coverage is okay http://osm.org/go/euulnTvw butt I think limited due to the cost to get in (it puts off going in just to focus on surveying for the map). There are some opensource map apps already http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android and Cloudmade.com provide an API for addingg maps to an app.
Another good Q: based on lib of congress - repositories, what form do they take?Metadata standards must allow for all types of data #jiscgeo11 years ago
Importance of creating critical mass in student populations - embedding good activities - faculty need to be trained as well in GIS #jiscgeo11 years ago
Good Q from @dfflanders: how do you get the powers that be to buy into GIS stuff? Powers that be had no idea of GIS architecture @stanford! 11 years ago
