• Polygon - Click on the corners of a polygon to draw out an area in your field. Use this to capture an area where you found a weed patch or a wet spot. Not that when you draw this in a field, we'll show you the area in acres that this polygon encompasses.

• Point - Tap on the field where you'd like to drop individual points. Use this to mark locations where you found plants that showed disease or had insects on them. 

• Drive - Use this function to track your location as you drive around an area in your field. The path that you drove will be recorded and saved to your device. Use this to record an area where you found a weed patch or drownout. Not that when you draw this in a field, we'll show you the area in acres that this polygon encompasses. 

• When you've completed your drawings, click on the Exit  button in the upper right-hand corner of the screen to save your drawing. A miniature version of that drawing will then be shown as an answer to your scouting observation (pictured below).
