Soil comes from the USDA SSURGO survey, showing each map unit and the share of the field it covers. Crop history uses the USDA Cropland Data Layer for a rolling eight years, so you can see a field's rotation before you get there. NDVI from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery is available for each place.
For terrain there are 3D views, elevation and hillshade. Drive-time rings show what lies within 30 or 60 minutes, and a route layer lays out today's stops. A density layer shows where your team has recorded the most notes and photos.
On a field with a boundary, the soil, crop and NDVI layers are clipped to that outline. SSURGO and the Cropland Data Layer cover the United States only.
Download the areas you work in ahead of time and the base map and your boundaries open on the phone with no signal.
Where layers and boundaries meet
Use Map in the web sidebar to switch between the base maps and field layers. Layers clip to the saved boundary, so a lane or waterway inside the outline is part of what the layer shows for that field.
You draw or walk each boundary, or import one, so the outline matches the ground you manage. Weather is recorded per visit, and each place's Site data tab shows today's conditions and the days ahead next to its soil and NDVI.
Limits of mapped context
Soil survey, crop history and vegetation imagery are background for a field visit. They do not diagnose a pest or a disease, predict yield or show the condition of buried tile. A low NDVI patch or a soil map unit tells you where to walk, and the visit tells you what is there. On a draft report, soil and NDVI snapshots can be added next to the visit's weather, so the reader sees the background the visit was made against.
Offline maps are a phone feature, so download the areas you need before a visit without signal. The web app has no offline mode. Drive-time rings show how far you can get in 30 or 60 minutes, and an imported outline is your working boundary, not a survey of the property line.
