Whether at home, the office, or in the field your maps are in a single easy to browse mobile tool. FieldView Plus users can manage their operation remotely and stay aware of what is happening from anywhere. Maps sync between all iPads and iPhones on an account and RemoteView allows a real-time connection to any planter or combine in the field.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery charge. Terms of Service — https://climate.com/en-us/legal/terms-of-service.html
