We use existing aerial photos to map your farm. These photos are purchased from specialised aerial mapping companies, who take photos throughout New Zealand from around 20,000 feet. We estimate that the accuracy of our maps is generally within 0.3/ha.

We produce maps showing your farm layout, paddock sizes and any other information you require - for example, paddock names and farm tracks.

Our Standard Service includes:
	Aerial photo
	Laminated photomap for your wall - 420mm x 297mm (any size available - ask us for a quote)
	A4 photomap
	25 A4 black and white maps
	Paddock report
	Maps showing paddock sizes and names, tanks, tracks, buildings, forestry blocks etc

If you have any special requirements, let us know. Contact us for a free quote and a no-obligation enquiry to find out the date of the most recent photos taken from flights in your area.

If I decide to proceed, what happens next?

	We order the aerial photo
	We prepare a draft photomap showing boundaries and fencelines, and post it to you for editing. At this stage you can make any changes or additions. Many farmers like to add paddock names. You can also mark in any other features you want identified on the map.
	When you return your edited photomap, we prepare the final maps, including exact paddock sizes.

How long does it take?

You should allow up to six weeks for the maps to be completed.

Can I use the farm map on my computer?

Yes. The package can also be provided on CD for an additional fee. If your computer programme is compatible, you can import all the information and work with it on your computer. If your computer programme is not compatible, you can still import all the maps and rebuild them on your computer.

Will the photos be in colour or black and white?

This depends on the aerial mapping company - most photography since 1998 is in colour, but some areas have only been shot in black and white. Contact us for a free no-obligation inquiry.

What are my options if the photos are not recent enough?

New flying is being carried out throughout the spring-to-autumn aerial photography season. We can let you know as soon as new photos are available, or you may want to consider purchasing special flying of your property - prices for this start at around $750 plus GST.

"The map has provided the information for better day to day management of the property, mainly for dry matter, fertiliser and cows per hectare. We had no worries with the service, it was great."
