Mapping specific locations in a field is an important tool in precision agriculture.
The mapper program allows the operator to map specific locations or more gener-
alized areas of a field. Once a desired location is mapped, the operator can then
return to that location at a later date or use the map as a background for future ref-
erence. The primary use of the mapper program is for mapping specific items such
as boundaries, weed patches, insect infestation, wet areas, tile lines, tile risers,
poles, rocks, holes, etc. The items mapped are stored as (.GMF) and (.BND) files
on a PC Card that can be used as background files during product application.
the mapper application is used without the lightbar. a PC Card must be inserted
in the Legacy 6000.
to access the mapper application, select the Mapper softkey on the Launcher
page. if the Mapper softkey is not displayed, the PC Card option in Console Setup
is configured to “No”. Refer to CHAPTER 2 - CONSOLE SETUP for additional in-
formation. once the Mapper softkey has been selected, enter a Job name.
