“We’re very pleased to team up with ParksByNature, the VAFP and Imperial to bring this exciting new smartphone application to the public,” said Joe Elton, state parks director for the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation. “This is a cutting-edge 21st century technology brought to the market by a dynamic 21st century public-private partnership.”

From iPhone app page:

The app offers users increased performance and activation speed with multi-tasking capabilities, enhanced user navigation, detailed park maps and an interactive GPS mapping guide for use in areas with little to no mobile reception.

Use the photo waypoint feature to snap a photo and mark and record the coordinates of plant life, animal species or landscape views. Post or share these remarkable finds with family and friends with the click of a button.

Interactive GPS feature for on/offline use
