June Release: Draw Boundaries More Accurately with Planet Base Maps

Base maps from Planet Labs provide an additional layer of context when adding or editing field boundaries. The base maps are informed by near daily images at a 3-meter resolution collected by the largest constellation of satellites that is commercially available.

In countries like Brazil where the terrain is rapidly transforming, our current maps (Google (web) and Mapbox (mobile) can quickly become outdated since it can be years between visual updates. Planet base maps provide a more current picture of the terrain, allowing you to draw more accurate field boundaries.
