MAPITFAST FAQs
Questions about mobile mapping, offline use, GIS exports and field data collection.
What is MapItFast used for?
MapItFast is used to quickly map points, lines, polygons, and geotagged photos in the field. It helps users document locations, routes, treatment areas, inspections, boundaries, assets, and map objects/features. Attributes for features may easily be added using Strider Forms.
Does MapItFast work offline?
Yes. MapItFast is designed for field work where internet service may be limited or unavailable. Users can collect data offline and sync when a wireless or cellular connection becomes available.
Can I use MapItFast without being a GIS expert?
Yes. MapItFast is designed to make mobile mapping simple. Field users can collect GPS-based data with minimal training, while managers and GIS staff can access, organize and export the data through the web platform.
What types of data can I collect in MapItFast?
Users can collect points, lines, polygons, and geophotos. They can associate notes and other related field information directly or by filling out a Strider form. MapItFast can also be used with custom layersets and geofencing tools to help manage more advanced workflows and dispatch activities.
Can MapItFast export GIS data?
Yes. MapItFast supports GIS data exports (Shapefile and KMZ) so organizations can use collected information in other mapping and data systems. This makes it useful for teams that need both simple mobile mapping and compatibility with advanced spatial analysis systems.
STRIDER FORMS FAQs
Questions about forms, reports, photos, public links, calculations and conditional logic.
What is Strider Forms used for?
Strider Forms is tightly integrated with MapItFast and used to create digital forms, collect field data, attach photos, capture details, and generate reports. It helps replace paper forms and disconnected spreadsheets with a more organized digital workflow.
Can Strider Forms create printable reports?
Yes. Strider Forms can generate professional printable reports that include form data, maps, photos, logos, and other information. This is useful for compliance documentation, customer reports, internal records, and project summaries.
Can forms include calculations and conditional logic?
Yes. Strider Forms can support calculations, conditional fields, and workflow-specific form logic. This helps make forms more accurate and easier for field users to complete.
Can customers as well as outside users submit forms?
Yes. Strider Forms can support public links and external form submission workflows when configured for that purpose. This is useful for intake forms, public reporting, customer submissions, and other shared data collection processes. Data collected from public forms remains private within the creator's Strider account.
How is Strider different from a basic online form tool?
Strider is built for field operations, mapping, reporting, and structured data collection. It is designed to work with maps, photos, mobile workflows, permissions, reporting needs, and other tools in the AgTerra platform.
SPRAYLOGGER FAQs
Questions about pesticide application mapping, compliance records, reports, weather and equipment activity.
What is SprayLogger used for?
SprayLogger records pesticide application activity, including mapping, compliance records, and reports. It captures every aspect of an application: date and time, location, applicator, chemicals and amounts used, weather conditions, equipment details, and more. SprayLogger helps applicators and managers maintain permanent, accurate treatment records for inspections and for legal defensibility.
Can SprayLogger map where applications occurred?
Yes. SprayLogger can map pesticide application activity so users can see where work was performed. This is valuable for treatment documentation, customer records, internal review, compliance, and future planning.
Does SprayLogger help with pesticide compliance records?
Yes. SprayLogger is designed to help document the details needed for pesticide application records. This includes treatment areas, products applied, rates, timing, weather conditions, equipment activity, and other job-specific details.
Can SprayLogger work with equipment data?
Yes. SprayLogger can work with ActionMapper hardware to capture GPS location and equipment activity such as independent spray boom operations and flow data.
Why use SprayLogger instead of paper records?
SprayLogger improves consistency, accuracy, and accessibility. Instead of handwritten notes or scattered spreadsheets, users get real‑time access to all spray jobs across multiple rigs, with mapped application records, consolidated reports, and supporting details stored in one organized digital system.
ACTIONMAPPER FAQs
Questions about data logging hardware, GPS tracking, flow sensors, switches, booms, and equipment activity.
What is ActionMapper?
ActionMapper is AgTerra’s equipment data logging hardware. It captures GPS-based activity and equipment events from machines such as spray rigs, utility vehicles, farm tractors, and other field equipment.
What types of equipment activity can ActionMapper track?
ActionMapper can track GPS movement tied to switch activity and/or a flow sensor, depending on model and setup. That includes spray events, harvest elevator operations, or any equipment actions triggered by a switch or monitored via flow. It’s commonly used to document when and where field work occurs.
Does ActionMapper require a phone or tablet to collect data?
ActionMapper captures equipment activity and sends it straight to AgTerra applications. Depending on the workflow, the data can be synced with AgTerra for mapping, reporting, and recordkeeping.
Can ActionMapper be used with SprayLogger?
Yes. ActionMapper is commonly used with SprayLogger to help document pesticide application activity. The hardware can provide equipment-based data that supports more accurate mapping and application records.
What is the benefit of using ActionMapper instead of manual entry?
ActionMapper reduces the need for users to manually record every equipment event. It helps capture activity directly from the equipment, improving accuracy, consistency, and confidence in the maps and reports.
