Agrovista's new web-based data management system MapIT Pro Advanced, de-signed to help growers cope with the vast amounts of digital information created on their farms, will be officially released at Cereals 2016. Some significant enhancements have been made since MapIT Pro made its public debut at last year's event, says head of precision technology Lewis McKerrow.
""We've added new functionality and made improvements based on customer feedback. A key goal has been the ability to import precision data from several sources to allow the user to make variable rate application plans in as few steps as possible.
Import options
""We have added a number of new import options so users can import data from other suppliers. This is the first time a mapping system has offered this on a fully mobile and shareable web-based [cloud] system."" Another key import function is the boundary import tool, which allows users to download field margins from machines and also Rural Payments Agency maps to save time on set up and ensure the correct boundaries are used.
