Automated Agricultural Mapping System

Project goal: To create a web-based mapping system that meets the needs of agricultural map-making. Creating, saving and sharing data relevant to agricultural ranches in Arizona’s Yuma County involves multiple software applications and a lot of manual data capture. The data is imported into drafting software to create a map that shows boundaries, layout and information relevant to the agricultural ranch. These maps are then printed.The Django web framework was used to develop a system incorporating all the current cartographic functions in a single web application that is executable in Windows 10 and on Samsung Android 5.0 and later tablets. Maps are created on a tablet using automated GPS, eliminating the need for multiple software applications in the field. Maps are saved in a MySQL database for registered users to see via the developed website.
