Map from GPS technology

The development of GPS technology for topdressing aircraft has greatly improved the uniformity of fertiliser spread on hill country pastures. The system guides the aircraft along a prescribed path, tracing it onto a map that shows where the aircraft has been. This includes recording the paths back to the fertiliser bin (top left ). The green area is the land to be topdressed.
