App Description
“Farming GPS GIS” for the iPAD provides many useful GIS mapping functions for farming, farm sales, farm service and farm management. It will let you easily create a farm tract, a timber tract or any other land parcel by importing data in Shapefile or DXF format, by precise digitization or by entering deed calls. The acreage and perimeter will be promptly computed. You can easily divide or combine the farm plots. You will be able to record attribute information for each farm plot as well as for each grid point. You will also be able to enter formulas to compute values derived from the recorded data. For example, when you enter the yield for a farm plot, the yield per acre can be automatically calculated based on the acreage of the plot.
If your device has GPS capability, the Point Stakeout function could help you locate an old land mark, and the Line Stakeout function could help you layout a long pipeline. If you don't care for hearing the navigation beeps, you may turn it off in the Stakeout Setting screen.
Please note: The accuracy of the location data depends on the GPS receiver used. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. The app lets you easily toggle the GPS on or off.
