Real Time Geospatial Data Viewer (RETIGO)
Description
Real TIme Geospatial Data Viewer (RETIGO) is a free, web-based tool that can be used to explore environmental data that you have collected either stationary or in motion (e.g., air quality sensors added to a bike).
Questions this resource can help answer
RETIGO is designed to answer the "where, when, and why" of air quality data you have collected yourself.
How do I use this resource?
RETIGO reads plain text files, which can be either comma or space delimited. The program will generate plots depicting the spatial and temporal distribution of the data

Technical specifications
The methodology behind its development focuses on Data Harmonization and Spatiotemporal Visualization
The core methodology of RETIGO is designed to synchronize two different streams of data that are often "noisy" or disconnected: Geospatial Data (GPS): Latitude, longitude, and altitude. Environmental Data: Time-stamped pollutant concentrations (like $PM_{2.5}$, $CO$, or $O_3$). The Method: RETIGO uses a time-alignment algorithm to "join" these datasets. Even if your GPS logs every second and your air sensor logs every 10 seconds, RETIGO interpolates the position to ensure every air quality reading is assigned a precise geographical point.
