Walking Farm is designed for a user to pull an area, walk a Farm, and make notations to the property (updating the property details for one’s own use). For this reason, Farm data is only pulled at the time it is created and does not update. “Updating” a Farm would overwrite the work the user has done on managing the details of property within a Farm.
Maps on Farming are not designed to go to a specific location/address, but instead to Farm a general area. The map will always load based on your location first. Refer to the details below to locate another area on the map to begin your Farm search:
Android: Enter city/state or zip code to locate that general area on the map. Pan/zoom until you locate your precise area to draw your Farm shape.
Apple: you may enter a specific address or intersection, and the map will locate that general area on the map. Pan/zoom until you locate your precise area to draw your Farm shape.
You may pull a maximum of 500 properties in a report. You may pull multiple reports until you reach your credit limit.
The application does not sync across devices. So for example, if you created the report on your tablet and then opened the application on your phone, you would have access to the Farm you saved on your tablet.
You may pull a maximum of 500 properties in a report. You can create an area larger than 500 properties, but would need to define it to a smaller report size using filters.
There is no limit to the number of reports you can save in the application.
If your Farm is missing properties when you sort, it is possible that the line you drew missed some of the properties. This is common when a user is trying to sort a very large Farm (a hundred to several hundred properties) – the line does need to be drawn quite close to the map pins, and in a very crowded map this can be difficult to do. A “best use case” for walking Farm® is to sort a list of properties you plan to walk that day. This allows you to “zoom in” on the map to a smaller area, and draw a more concise line.
