App to map field drains?

[Stuart J]

I went and used the What 3 Words app to find the metre square where each T off was. The main drain is in a big curve so quite hard to map it.
The difficulty will be navigating to the metre square later on, but I'll tackle that hurdle then!

There's a thread running in precision farming where the Emlid Reach RS receivers (single frequency GNSS) as advertised on TFF, have been mentioned.

Perhaps not survey grade RTK, but nonethelesss a pair of them (one as base, one as rover) would be *plenty* good enough for a drain survey and records.

The mapping app is the easy bit - you just need the accuracy (at a decent price point)

Grow oats and buy a drone, seem to show up whatever the year is like

Anyone using an app to map field drains? Just laid a new scheme and don't want to have to dig up half the field to find them again in the future!

Did you ever find an app?

i think in this day and age a drone would be the best bet and get an airiel photo

A picture is worth a thousand words and it's to scale
