Farm Sprayer GPS

Investor Direction LLC DBA Macon Apps

About this app

Farm Sprayer GPS turns your Android phone or tablet into a simple coverage map for spraying, spreading, tillage and planting. Enter your boom or implement width, tap Start, and the app paints the ground you have covered as you drive, counts the acres, and shows where passes overlap. One price, no subscription, no dealer, no monitor to buy.

WORKS WITH THE GPS YOU HAVE
• Uses the GPS built into your phone or tablet.
• Pair an external Bluetooth GPS receiver through Android's location settings for better accuracy; our own Bluetooth GPS antenna is available from the Antenna / More screen in the app.

MAPS THAT WORK WITHOUT A SIGNAL
• Download USGS aerial imagery for a 10, 30 or 60 mile radius around you ahead of time. When there is no connection the map switches to it by itself.
• Google satellite, hybrid, standard or USGS aerial map styles.

A RECORD OF EVERY JOB
• Start, pause and resume, then finish the field. Come back later to view it or keep spraying.
• Record the crop, product, rate, operator, wind and temperature, plus notes, with each job.
• Export KML (Google Earth), GPX, GeoJSON and CSV and share them straight from the app.

FREE CLOUD BACKUP, OFF BY DEFAULT
• Sign in with just your email, no password, to back up finished jobs, view them in any web browser, share a read-only link, and get them back on a new phone or in the iOS and Windows apps.
• Nothing is uploaded unless you turn backup on or tap Upload yourself.

BUILT FOR THE CAB
• Big buttons that work with gloves, a heads-up display with acres, speed and GPS accuracy, and a screen that stays awake while recording.
• A compact landscape layout for phones mounted sideways.

USE WITH CARE
Phone and tablet GPS can be off by several meters. An external receiver gives the best results. Continuous GPS use shortens battery life. Coverage is calculated from the GPS track and your boom width: it is a record of where you drove, not a survey.
