Accurate determination of land boundaries as a key to success

Problem of Adjacent Land Plots

In modern agriculture, one of the biggest problems is the lack of clearly defined land plot boundaries. This creates serious issues between neighboring landowners and often leads to conflicts.

In particular, the problem is exacerbated when large fields are divided into shares and distributed among different owners. Often, such distribution results in one or several plots belonging to the same farmer being arranged in a "checkerboard" pattern among other plots. When farmers cultivate their land, they may accidentally enter a neighbor's territory, reducing the area of the neighbor's plot and potentially causing disputes.

The company "Geometer" offers a comprehensive solution: software and GPS/GNSS kits for accurate land boundary determination. Since 2010, the company has been developing and selling industry-specific solutions. Thanks to its accumulated experience and well-established local production, our GPS/GNSS receivers are distinguished by high quality and the best prices on the market. These receivers are in demand not only in Ukraine but also in many other countries.

Determining Land Boundaries Independently. How Does It Work?

1. Using a cadastral number, the coordinates of the land plot points are extracted, and files in KML and TXT formats are generated.

2. The obtained KML or TXT files are uploaded into the geometer SCOUT software, where the user can see their plot on a Google Maps interface.

3. By selecting the "Navigate to Point" function, the program guides the user to the selected point with an accuracy of up to 1 cm. The accuracy of determination depends on the chosen GPS/GNSS receiver.

Advantages of Using GNSS Receivers for Boundary Determination

1. Avoiding Conflicts with Neighbors. Accurate boundary determination helps prevent accidental land encroachment.

2. Ease of Use. Software enables quick and easy identification of plots and points.

3. Mobility and Autonomy. Devices are compact and operate autonomously for extended periods.

4. High Accuracy. From 1 meter to 1 cm (depending on the model and use of RTK corrections).

5. Time and Resource Savings. Farmers can determine plot boundaries independently without hiring external specialists.

The problem of unclear land boundaries is a significant threat to farmers, as it leads to conflicts and yield loss. Thanks to the solutions offered by "Geometer," farmers can accurately determine the borders of their plots and work without the risk of infringing on others' land. GPS/GNSS technologies not only improve land surveying accuracy but also contribute to the development of modern agriculture.

Using modern technologies in agriculture is the key to success, improved work efficiency, and maintaining good relationships with neighbors!
