About FarmMap4D
FarmMap4D is a product of Spatial Hub Analytics (SHA)
FarmMap4D brings together the world’s latest mapping and imagery technology to provide a simple web-based tool to allow Australia’s rangelands to be managed more profitably and sustainably.
It combines the latest geospatial mapping technologies with time-series satellite remote sensing of ground cover, in a way that’s never been available before.
For the first time, the sheep and beef industries are able to use and compare their own data paddock data with government data in a consistent and interactive way.
FarmMap4D demonstrates how world leading time-series remote sensing of ground cover through an online interface can optimise grazing pressure and land condition, and allow land managers to make better, more informed decisions.
If you’re interested in better farm mapping services for your property, this is the product that you’ll need. Choose the subscription level for the detail of mapping you require.
