Map Creator makes a printable field map for contractors, spray pilots and farm crews. Select paddocks, draw instructions and export a branded PDF without giving the recipient access to Phase.

Where to find it

The farm needs mapped paddock boundaries before you can create a field map.

Build the map

  1. Choose Select, then tap every paddock to include.

  2. Add the map title, purpose and general notes.

  3. Decide whether to include saved farm markers and each paddock's area.

  4. For each selected paddock, check the printed area, choose a crop-plan activity where useful, and edit the work line or paddock note.

  5. Add map annotations with Marker, Line and Paint.

  6. Use Erase, Undo or Redo to correct annotations.

The area can be edited to represent the ground actually being treated. Reset it to return to the mapped paddock area. An edited printed area does not change the authoritative paddock boundary in Phase.

Clear annotations removes the markers, lines and painted areas created in Map Creator. It leaves the paddock selection and text in place.

Export or email the PDF

Select Export. You can:

  • Download PDF to save the field map locally.

  • Enter one or more recipients and select Send with PDF attached.

The PDF includes paddock boundaries and names, selected area information, work lines, notes, a legend, scale bar and Phase branding. It can also include saved farm markers when that option is on.

Check before sharing

Satellite imagery can be incomplete or old, and drawn positions are approximate. Check the scale, paddock boundaries, annotations, treated area, work instructions and sensitive notes before downloading or emailing the map. The exported PDF is a communication aid, not proof of application or a substitute for a machinery prescription.
