Ground is an open source, map-centric data collection platform for occasionally connected devices.

This is not an officially supported Google product, and it is currently under development on best-effort basis. Please check back periodically for updates.

|[web/](web/)|*Ground Web Console* used to set up and manage projects, and to view, edit, and analyze collected data online|

Firestore Cloud Functions currently only supports Node.js v6.11.5, 
while the web dashboard is built using a newer version of Node.js. Contributors should use the appropriate version of Node for the component they are working on. Follow the instructions provided in the README of each subdirectory to set up the proper
