THE AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS

Over and above the functions offered by the established modules of the GTA software suite, GTA400 Precision Farming takes the technology to new levels of sophistication without compromising ease of use. Building on the existing range of tools, GTA400 is the ultimate precision farming tool.

Easy import of "generic" geo-referenced data is provided through a simple import tool, to aid import and management of soil tests, as-applied, tile lines, management zones and other spatial data that is available in a .csv, .txt, .shp or FODM.xml format. Import tool settings can be saved as a template for use again at a later time.

	Read job data Once the job data format type is selected from the import list, jobs and their associated details are displayed in the file window ready for selection. < View larger version
	Specify soil sample details A simple user interface enables sample details to be specified and saved as a template for future use. < View larger version
	Create application areas by hand The programme allows the creation by hand of application areas, enabling the user to take into account various layers of information, or to fine-tune application plans to ensure compliance with specific legislation, guidelines or customer specification. < View larger version
	View and adjust 3rd party application maps Planned application maps that may have been created by another service provider or crop consultant in other formats can be viewed and, if necessary, modified by the user, if, for example, conditions have changed or if only a certain quantity of product is available for application. < View larger version
	Manage background map information The ability to view and manage background map layers enhances user information, allowing further analysis of the elements that can influence crop production. < View larger version
	View machine locations and movements Background map layers featuring roads, watercourses, county and parish boundaries, digital soil survey data and imagery can all be imported and managed at farm or field levels. Over-layering of geo-referenced machine job data enables machine movements and working paths to be tracked, providing the information to maximise productivity. < View larger version
	Calibrate image tool Existing farm maps and aerial or satellite images can easily be geo-referenced for use in GTA400, ensuring all valuable data and resources can be fully utilised. The ‘calibrate’ tool enables the user to import their own scanned images or change the co-ordinate systems on images from third parties, so they can be used in GTA400 map layers. < View larger version
	Automatic field boundaries The often time-consuming task of creating field boundaries by hand can be eliminated – they can now be generated automatically with a single click of the mouse button. Edit boundaries to ‘fence off’ areas of set-aside, conservation headlands and other non-cropped areas. < View larger version
