Mosquito Application by Backpack (2020)

This dataset represents the GPS coordinates and other relevant information of where backpack application/treatment took place for mosquitoes for 2020. A brief description of how it works: GPS coordinates are obtained from a cell phone, which is connected to an Arduino. A stretch sensor connected to the Arduino is used to detect where pesticide is sprayed. Things to consider when working with this dataset: The setup has been tested for accuracy but it is possible for equipment to report incorrect data. Values may be changed due to correction or re-calibration. Values may also be incorrect due to malfunctioning equipment that went undetected for a period of time.
