Suggested map sources

• A free satellite map app - try Yara Atfarm, screenshot maps and import them

• Your farm management platform - use satellite maps, yield maps, seed rate maps… etc!

• Google Earth or Maps

• Paper maps!

Use cases for Fieldmaps

There are many use cases to explore, here’s a couple we like:

1. Import an NDVI satellite map to see field variance, and add scout points to areas that look different, then scout to measure true GAI or weeds.

2. Use a seeding map to check and measure crop establishment after vari-rate drilling.

3. We even used an old drainage map to keep an eye on flooding in a field!

Auto-generated maps from Scout Spheres

• Scout sphere maps are auto extract and appear as a fieldmap layer in your app.

• These provide an up-to-date overview of your field, ideal for marking scout points on weed patches etc!

• Simply do a Sphere flight and the maps will be automatically synced to you iOS app.
