What is BG-Map? BG-Map is computer mapping software for botanical gardens and similar institutions. If you work at a botanical garden, arboretum, college campus, private estate, cemetery, zoo, municipality or other facility where detailed records and mapping of trees, plants and infrastructure are critical, then BG-Map is the right solution for you. It links plant records stored in the BG-BASE^TM collections management database with an AutoCAD map, creating a powerful Geographic Information System (GIS).	BG-Map Users Kiosk Interface
