Release Web March 2026 (Trials on Zones Maps, Synthetic Yield Maps, Farm View Statistics)

Fields statistics in one view, prescription maps that follow the actual machine path, generative yield maps without a yield monitor, field trials alongside zone maps, plus a wave of stability fixes.

Generative Synthetic Yield Maps

You can now create a yield map without a yield monitor - useful when you only know the total or average harvest result for a field. The new "Generate Synthetic Yield Map" option is available directly from the Yield Data section and supports two workflows:

Generate new

Start from scratch by entering your crop type, total or average yield value (with the appropriate unit pre-filled based on crop and area setting), and harvest year. GeoPard builds a spatially distributed yield dataset across the field based on deep knowledge of a field: soil, water, topography, field history, weather and in-season crop development. We've written earlier about synthetic yield maps with illustrations.

Reconstruct existing

Generative model, works great to make a complete yield dataset out of partial or low quality non-calibrated noisy harvesting dataset.

Regions supported

All regions supported by GeoPard, including areas with several harvesting seasons per year.

Trials on Zones Maps

GeoPard now supports field trials as a dedicated data layer alongside Zone Maps. Agronomists can draw trial plots directly on the Zones Map page, assign products or treatments to each block, and visualise trial results overlaid on the field map. Key capabilities:

• Draw trial plots on the Zones Map, with the option to reuse trial locations when creating a new zones map

• Visualise trials on the field page whenever the associated zones map is selected

• Export trials merged with the zones map into a single application-ready file

Farm View: Field Statistics Panel & Quick-Action Navigation

Farm View now includes a dedicated statistics panel that gives you instant access to key field metrics: area, mean, minimum, maximum, relative variability (coefficient of variation, CV%), and Heterogeneity Factor for zones.

Use it to benchmark fields across soil, yield, topography, imagery, and as-applied datasets, and quickly identify where to focus scouting, input decisions, and next actions first.

The panel also includes direct quick-action buttons - launch a Sampling Plan or jump straight into Create Equation Batch - so you can move from analysis to action. The panel is collapsible to keep the map view clean when you don't need it.

Batch Equation Maps: Per-Field Pixel Heading & AB-Line Support

Each field card on the Batch Equation Maps creation page, now has an "Heading" control that opens a map popup. Inside, you can set the pixel heading for that specific field using the same tools available in single-field mode: a heading angle input, or draggable A/B points to define the application line. Generated pixels will follow the selected direction per field.

Draw Manually: Generate Masked Data/No Data Zones from a Dataset

The Draw Manually workflow now includes a "Create Data Zones" control in the instrument panel. Instead of drawing polygons by hand, you can select an existing dataset and GeoPard automatically generates two zones:

• A data zone covering all areas where measurements exist (clipped to the field boundary)

• A no-data zone covering the remaining part of the field

Useful when working with partial-coverage datasets such as soil samples, lab results, or as-applied layers.

The Data/No-Data instrument also supports a mask mode, letting you merge computed data zones into an existing zones map rather than always creating a new one. Useful for incrementally updating field management zones as new sensor coverage arrives.

Rectangular Pixel Support in Equation Maps

Equation Maps now support rectangular pixels that match the actual width and length of your equipment. The GeoPard interface clearly indicates where to enter your equipment width and length.

Order Planet Imagery Directly from the Map

Ordering Planet imagery is faster now. Previously hidden in the three-dot menu, the order option is now a cart icon next to the acquisition date - one click to order directly from the field view.

Romanian Language Support

The GeoPard platform is now fully available in Romanian 🇷🇴. All interface elements, labels, and navigation have been localised. Users can switch to Romanian from the User Settings menu.

Seamless Zone Polygon Boundaries

Zone polygon boundaries now align perfectly with no gaps between adjacent zones, ensuring clean and reliable zone maps for every field.

Improved Zone Classification for Small Fields

Zone classification on fields smaller than 10 hectares now produces accurate, high-quality results - the algorithm has been tuned to handle low pixel density gracefully on compact parcels.

KML Import: Full Support for Multi-Polygon Fields

Fields made up of multiple polygons (e.g., split by a road or waterway) are now imported as a single unified field boundary.

Prescription Export for Trimble Displays

Prescription maps can now be exported in formats ready for Trimble field displays. Both legacy and newer display families are supported:

• Legacy displays (CFX-750, FMX, EZ-Guide 500) - Shapefile export with the AgGPS/Prescriptions/ folder structure

• GFX displays (GFX-350, GFX-750, GFX-1060, GFX-1260, TMX-2050) - Shapefile and ISOXML export with the AgData/Prescriptions/ folder structure

The export wizard lets you choose the appropriate display type. The generated ZIP preserves the exact folder hierarchy required by each device - no manual file reorganisation needed on your USB drive.

More Accurate Yield & As-Applied Maps

The processing pipeline for yield and as-applied datasets has been significantly improved. GeoPard now uses grid-based rasterization instead of mathematical interpolation:

• More accurate - each grid cell reflects a real sensor measurement, not an estimated value between points

• Better visual alignment - the grid rotates to follow the machine's actual driving direction

• Faster processing - substantially quicker than the previous interpolation method

• More stable - eliminates a key source of out-of-memory errors on large fields

Satellite Imagery: Coverage Statistics Now Available via API

The satellite imagery API now returns per-range coverage statistics alongside index data. For each NDVI (or other index) colour band, the system calculates what percentage of the field area falls within that range - computed on cloud-free pixels only.

All-Year Satellite Imagery for US Fields

Satellite imagery for US farmer fields is now available across all 12 months of the year. This enables year-round analysis including cover crop monitoring, post-harvest assessment, and early-season planning - not just peak growing season.

Bug Fixes & Improvements

• Fixed web app crash when the Google Translate browser extension was active.

• Fixed draw layer rendering below zone borders on Zone Maps - drawn polygons now always appear on top.

• Fixed John Deere Operations query failing when the operation filter included a large number of fields.

• Fixed broken timestamp display on certain raster data layers.

• Fixed interpolation setting not being preserved correctly when cloning a zones map.

• Fixed Planet imagery cloud-mask coverage filter not being applied in certain cases.

• Fixed continuous range legend excluding the maximum value from the last classification bin.

• Fixed Farm View auto-selecting the wrong "Recent Field Potential" map when names contained year ranges.

• Field assets tree now loads datasets incrementally, reducing initial load time on data-heavy fields.

• Data Layers preview panel now shows a loading indicator and keeps asset titles visible while scrolling.

• Batch equation map previews now retry automatically on failure, with clearer loading state feedback.
