Working with prescription maps
A prescription map is a detailed map of a field. In this map the field is split up into areas. The prescription map contains information on how the product(s) are to be applied in each area of the field.
When the prescription map has been loaded, the terminal checks via GPS coordinates of the vehicle what application rates are needed according to the prescription map and transfers this information to the appropriate ISOBUS job computer.
The terminal can open prescription maps in two formats:
- ▪
- ISO-XML format
- –
- The prescription map must be added to an ISO-XML task on a PC.
- –
- The prescription map can only be used in combination with an ISO-XML task through the ISOBUS-TC application.
- –
- Up to four prescription maps can be used simultaneously in one task. This way, for implements that have more than one metering unit, you can use a prescription map for each system.
- ▪
- Shape format (shp)
- –
- Only one prescription map can be used at a time.
