Add, edit or delete a map benchmark on the mobile app
Use Trimble Ag Mobile to easily drop map points (also known as benchmarks) with custom names to keep track of field scouting, crop health, property issues and more. With precise coordinates automatically generated for each point, you can use your mobile device’s built-in GPS to view the distance to navigate to each point from your current location. Use these map features on any field on the mobile app, starting from the home screen’s Field tile or Farm tile.
