Scout Spheres provide:

• A whole field overview - Evaluate, Collaborate, Plan
  Captured from 100m above the center of your field, you can look in any direction with a birds-eye view to identify crop variance and potential issues, and to collaborate and plan with colleagues.

• View average Scout data
  You can see the average analysis statics for the field based on the last scouting date.

• View Scout Points in high detail - Perfect for ground truthing via drone
  Click on a scout point to view the most recent image and analysis data for that point, click the image to zoom right into the full leaf-level detail.

• Add new Scout Points
  Capture a Scout Sphere first, then use it to identify crop variance or potential issues, right click to add a scout point at that location then fly a scouting mission to capture close-up images to ID the issue.

• Use as a map for application planning
  Click the downward arrow on the bottom nav to view the field as map
  *Soon you’ll be able to view these in-app and export them, for now - try a screenshot!
