Hello, I have been using Essentials to track weeds in the hay fields so that I can reduce the area that needs to be sprayed.  This is great for the environment because it reduces the amount of herbicide that is used.  Thanks!

It would be nice if I could capture the areas that are sprayed.  I could use Essentials if there was a way to set the width of the track display to the width of the sprayer boom.  As a possible implementation the Settings dialog could include something to set the track width.  Tracks would be displayed with the specified width as projected on the surface  (actually with the maximum of the current track with and the projected width to avoid that the track becomes too thin to see).

There are other apps - like FieldBee tractor navigator - that can display sprayed areas but they do not have to flexibility of GPS Essentials.  GPS Essentials,  for example, can import waypoints (with weed locations).

I do not know whether this can be implemented, but I will make a donation to say thanks for this useful app,
