At GPSit we know farms. Many of our team come from farming backgrounds so we understand a farm map is the foundation of your entire operation.

A GPSit farm map is an investment that provides immediate and long-lasting returns. It will improve your farm’s productivity and support the decisions you make.
Your whole business will benefit from the latest technology that produces highly accurate maps. You can plan, record details, meet compliance requirements, provide bench-marking and simply do more with a GPSit farm map.
Our maps are an effective and easy way to communicate farm layout and hazards to staff and visitors to ensure you comply with all health and safety regulations.
An accurate map is critical for any Farm Environment Plan (FEP) to identify waterways, fencing, riparian planting, and slopes.
Maps are a powerful tool to assist with day-to-day farm management. This includes planning, budgeting, tracking fertiliser applications, and allocating stock rates/movement.
This service includes one of our GIS technician team downloading the latest publically available satellite imagery (these maps can be a few years old) to draft your farm map entirely in the office. It does not involve a site visit.
See Draft Only Service for further detail.
This service includes a site visit from one of our field technicians to capture aerial imagery of your farm using the latest drone technology. These image files will then be drafted by our team of GIS technicians to produce your farm map.
See Drone & Draft Service for further details.
Note: This service is unavailable in some NZ regions, also, for large farms (over 300ha) and steep land. Contact us to clarify if your farm will be suitable to be droned or not.
Our team will work with you to include specific features that you may require. Please note that some features may incur an additional cost due to additional drafting time.
