Rather than purchasing an ortho-corrected aerial photograph to draw your map from, why not take advantage of Google Earth's imagery to draw up your farm map? Drawing your map from Google Earth photography saves the expense of purchasing a handheld GPS or sourcing an ortho-rectified aerial photograph. You simply draw your paddocks as polygons in Google Earth, then export them as a .kml file. You can import the .kml file into WMC Map which will automatically calculate areas and distances and allow you to further edit and print your farm map.
Step 1: Draw your fields as polygons in Google Earth
Step 2: Import your Google Earth files into WMC Map to automatically calculate areas.
Step 3: Edit and complete your map in WMC Map Design to draw up a farm map similar to the map above.
