GeoMarvel partnered with NomadIQ, LLC to develop the NomadIQ mobile application, a platform for geospatial scientists to expose their data products to the world, and in return, for 7 billion mobile device users to discover and explore their world through scientific geospatial data products (i.e., “Earth data”).
The NomadIQ app leverages ArcGIS Services to provide cutting edge remote sensing to the general public. Previously only available to large institutions, NomadIQ’s map layers are sourced from top data providers such as terraPulse and includes high-quality and near real-time information such as Tree Cover, Elevation, Public Land, and Land Cover, among others. Access to remote sensing data is pivotal for the NomadIQ mobile application, as it empowers users to navigate and explore the world seamlessly while also ensuring accuracy and reliability in every journey.
NomadIQ offers an intuitive experience and easy to use design to authenticate, browse, favorite, and subscribe to individual data layers natively through the application. Future enhancements include a native routing & navigation experience and access to a larger catalog of data for online or offline use, in order to customize each user’s subscriptions with their own personal interests. NomadIQ features standard geospatial functions (e.g., map pan & zoom, layer toggle) familiar to the majority of mobile device users and allows for search, browse, display, and query of individual map layers contributed by the scientific community. Map layers supported by research grants and other public funds are offered for free to all users, and users may support further scientific research through voluntary subscriptions to selected layers for enhanced functionality. Whether you’re a nature lover curious about what’s over the next ridge or a city dweller exploring the urban environment, NomadIQ provides a tailored journey for every unique user. The NomadIQ application is now available for free download through Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store.
The partnership with NomadIQ strategically utilized GeoMarvel’s Professional Services to spearhead the development and architecture of the innovative application. GeoMarvel’s involvement spanned crucial aspects, including GIS data architecture consulting, API development, payment integration, authentication, user profiles, the ability to filter and save available data, and deployment of the application to app stores. This collaborative effort resulted in the creation of an intuitive, user-friendly application that seamlessly integrates high accuracy data, and further showcases the power of strategic partnerships in driving successful mobile application development.
