Use known latitude/longitude markers to localize a geographical point, or drop a marker onto a Google Map. To launch the feature, click the Load Map button, and a Google map of the continental United States will be displayed. Latitude and Longitude coordinates can be entered first if desired. The map will localize accordingly and display a marker.

The map coordinates are stored when a sale is saved. Users must be connected to the Internet in order to view the sale map.

  • Print the map from the Map Options drop-down list.

These maps will automatically transfer into a report with the sale using the Insert Sale Map feature in ClickForms.

Also, here is some info about additional mapping services that are popular with AgWare customers:

One of the more popular options is Google Earth which is different from on-line Google Maps.

You can add pins and property boundaries and then save the current view as an image. 

There is a Property Boundary tool. For more information on Property Boundary tool, click here.

You can also do that in Google Maps if you are logged into a Google Account.

Here is a link on how to add a place marker in Google Earth:

The reason a lot of users like Google Earth is because you can add Section/Township/Range lines through a third party service:

We also have some customers using services like Microsoft MapPoint, Delorme maps, Land Voyage, AgriData, and local tax property maps.
