Slope Analysis

Slope Analysis



As a grower I would like to use Elevation help drive the optimal guidance.  We utilize a digital elevation model to obtain the topography of a field.  We then Analyze and give the user a layer to visualize slope changes along the pass lines.  Not only can this help identify optimal guidance to reduce Soil Erosion, it can also show some potential problem location if you have machine limitations for traversing on slopes.   




To generate a Path Plan utilizing the Slope feature please follow the steps below.

AlertBe sure to toggle "Slope" on under Advanced Options in step 9.
