Draw a farm map from Google Earth using WMC Map

Rather than purchasing an ortho-corrected aerial photograph to draw your map from, why not take advantage of Google Earth's imagery to draw up your farm map? Drawing your map from Google Earth photography saves the expense of purchasing a handheld GPS or sourcing an ortho-rectified aerial photograph. You simply draw your paddocks as polygons in Google Earth, then export them as a .kml file. You can import the .kml file into WMC Map which will automatically calculate areas and distances and allow you to further edit and print your farm map.

Step 1: Draw your fields as polygons in Google Earth.

Importing into WMC Map

Step 2: Import your Google Earth files into WMC Map to automatically calculate areas.

Step 3: Edit and complete your map in WMC Map Design to draw up a farm map similar to the map above.

WMC Map Design System Requirements:

Windows XP, Vista or 7

WMC Map Farm Mapping Software for TracMap units

TracMap unit mounted on handlebars of an ATV used for shifting lateral-style irrigation

Position of irrigation systems on a farm is critical for even application of irrigated water. Often when shifting irrigation there is confusion about where the irrigator has been or where it should be moved to, leading to inaccurate placement and patchy irrigation. The TracMap system solves this problem, making irrigation shifts as simple as following the plan on the screen in front of you.

Use of the TracMap irrigation system typically delivers efficiency gains to the tune of 20%+.

WMC Map makes it simple to draw your irrigation plan up on your PC, then load into your TracMap unit to go out and navigate your irrigation shifts accurately.

Step One Draw up your irrigation design using WMC Map software
Step Two Load your irrigation design into your TRACMAP head unit
Step Three Using your TRACMAP system and the newly loaded irrigation design, move your irrigation system with accurate guidence
