Overview
Missouri anglers can now get high-tech help locating fishing spots with the Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) Find MO Fish mobile application for smart phones and tablets.
MDC hired Timmons Group because of our unique ability to take requirements and deliver targeted, innovative solutions. We started the project with exploring the fishing app requirements and concepts with MDC. We then moved into designing an innovative user interface and methods of visualizing data for anglers and other non-technical users. Some of these features included the design of clustered boat ramps that would be based on user’s map scale level, and the creation of dynamically cached heat maps to display fish attractor locations.
