Achieve Mobile GIS and Learn More About Farm Production
Agricultural applications of XMap GIS Software rely on XMap's ability to layer disparate layers of GIS and GPS data against a backdrop of topographic maps and aerial imagery. Harvested information might include irrigation data using GPS or accurate records of precipitation by latitude & longitude point. Optimize agri-manager decision-making through advanced yet affordable GIS data visualization and GPS navigation tools.
XMap on the Farm
- Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, accurate maps and imagery, GPS data collection, and navigation tools are critical for an efficient farm workflow from winter planning through those busy days of spring sowing and fall harvesting
- DeLorme's XMap GIS Enterprise software helps today's farmers become and remain competitive through the accurate visualization of active cultivation zones. The measurement of truly productive acreage can help estimate yields, plan fertilizer applications, and seed requirements
- Semi-professional growers might use XMap to simply map their farm for the first time
- XMap is the easy-to-use data visualization tool providing farm technicians and GIS managers with comprehensive, shared views of critical farm lands, equipment placement, and land survey data
Share Critical Information throughout Your Organization
Share critical map views with farm technicians. Export GIS map views, aerial imagery, or geo-registered scanned images to the Earthmate GPS PN-Series handheld receiver. Improve decision-making and empower field technicians by providing access to critical data.
- View critical infrastructure data against aerial or satellite imagery. Conduct side-by-side analysis of before and after maps. Build environmental compliance visualizations
- Import and geo-reference scanned images and blueprints - transfer the resulting raster map layer to the Earthmate GPS PN-Series
- Efficiently direct your field technicians to the job site using GPS navigation. Get outside the vehicle navigation using the Earthmate GPS PN-Series
