"PRECISION FARMING" APPLICATION: MAPS AND MAP TOOLS
Introduction
This chapter explains how to use maps and map tools on the "Run" screens.
The "Precision Farming" application offers two different map types:
• Work maps show the results for the current operation
• The swath map shows swath alignment (overlap and skip) and can be used to align the vehicle to the next swath
Work maps
Work maps vary with the farming application:
• Coverage maps show the work path of the vehicle or im-
plement through the field during the current operation.
This is the default setting when the display is powered.
The coverage map is common to all farming applica-
tions.
• Application maps show the "as applied" rate for the
product – e.g., seed, fertilizer, etc., – as the vehicle and
implement, if applicable, move through the field.
• Prescription maps show the prescribed rate of product
application in the field or sections of the field.
• Yield maps show harvest results – ton/ha (bushels/
acre) and moisture (%M) – as the vehicle moves
through the field.
• Performance maps show an aspect of vehicle produc-
tivity – for example, fuel economy – as the vehicle (with
its header or implement) moves through the field.
