Precision maps - Surety Maps outline

Precision maps assist farmers by showing them precise locations in the field and providing them specific information about that location. A precision map is a map that is made up of geo-referenced data that can then be used to show information about a precise location in a field, as well as information on crop moisture levels, soil nutrients levels, crop yield and much more.

One of the tools available for precision agriculture is Surety Maps. For this assignment students will work with Surety Maps to investigate its basic features and how it operates.
