  • When moving to a different field be sure to change the Active Field using the Map Selector.
  • When Field Boundary Detection is enabled, a prompt to change fields will appear when entering a field boundary
  • When Field Boundary Detection is set to Auto in Map Options, FieldView™ Cab app will automatically change the Active Field that data is being collected in when entering a new field boundary.
• If you want to create and implement planting prescriptions with FieldView, we will cover that in FieldView 301.
