LandPKS Soil ID vs True Fields

LandPKS Soil ID is a free mobile app that helps identify soils in the field. Create a site anywhere in the world and instantly see potential soils ranked from global soil survey maps. Collect observations using step-by-step guides to refine the ranking — no lab or internet connection required. Available in English, French, Spanish, Swahili, Ukrainian, and Georgian. Key Features: - Soil matching from global map data: Create a site and immediately see a ranked list of potential soils based on soil survey maps for that location. As site observations are entered, the ranking refines further by weighing similarity between observed properties and each potential soil. - Guided data collection: Step-by-step tools for slope, soil color, texture, rock fragments, surface cracks, and depth-by-depth soil profile observations. - Projects and teams: Create projects to organize sites, invite team members, and set standardized data collection requirements across locations. - Fully offline capable: Create sites and collect data without cell or internet service. Data syncs automatically when connectivity returns. - Data ownership and privacy: Control who can access site data. Export observations for use in other tools and reports. Who it's for: LandPKS Soil ID is used by agricultural consultants, soil scientists, extension agents, researchers, educators, government field staff, farmers, and ranchers — anyone who needs to identify or characterize soils on-site. It supports both solo fieldwork and coordinated data collection across organizations. Built on trusted partnerships: LandPKS is a long-running collaboration between government agencies, universities, and nonprofits dedicated to accessible soil science tools.

True Fields is a professional mobile application within the Agronote product ecosystem, designed for agronomists, soil scientists, land management specialists, and other professionals working with field data. The app helps you conduct soil surveys, navigate in the field, work with field boundaries, cartographic materials, observation points, and analytical data directly from your smartphone — in the office, on the road, and in the field. FULL-FEATURED FIELDWORK True Fields is designed for real field conditions. You can download all necessary farm data to your device in advance and continue working even without an internet connection: view maps, work with survey points, fill in observation forms, and use downloaded raster materials. FIELD BOUNDARIES ALWAYS AT HAND Digital field boundaries are displayed directly on the map, helping you quickly navigate the area. This is especially useful for farm surveys, land inventory, and field inspections. ALL MAPS IN ONE APP True Fields supports various types of cartographic materials, including basemaps, vector layers, raster maps, and georeferenced analytical data. You can view variability maps, agrochemical materials, survey results, and other spatial data directly on your smartphone. 3D TERRAIN ON THE MAP For a better understanding of the landscape, the app provides a 3D terrain view. Tilt the map to see the digital surface model and assess how fields are positioned relative to terrain features such as slopes, depressions, watersheds, and other landscape elements. POINTS OF INTEREST AND NAVIGATION Create, view, and edit survey points directly on the map. The app helps you quickly find the objects you need, displays the direction and distance to the selected point, and makes field navigation easier. FULL SOIL PROFILE DESCRIPTION Keep detailed records of soil profiles and observation points: capture field parameters, morphological descriptions, limiting factors, agrochemical indicators, and related information. Add photos with automatic geotagging to preserve a complete picture of field conditions. SYNCHRONIZATION AND DATA EXCHANGE Download full data packages from the server, including field boundaries, survey points, photo archives, vector layers, and raster materials. After completing fieldwork, upload the collected data back to the central server and export the results in common formats, including XLSX and SHP. WHO TRUE FIELDS IS FOR The app is useful for specialists involved in soil surveys, soil mapping, agrochemical monitoring, land inventory, environmental control, and digital support of agricultural operations. True Fields brings field surveys into a modern digital format: fewer paper records, less data loss, and more accuracy, speed, and convenience when working on the land.
