Defining Collection Area ShapesThe Quantix Flight Planner has been tested on a variety of shapes and there are an infinite number of different field shapes that you can draw.
In general, your collection area should be:
- A closed polygon with no "holes"
- Fewer than 100 points or corners.
- As simple as possible to perform.
The examples below will help you select a reliable shape for the Quantix Flight Planner.
To ensure the highest quality product, draw your collection area with an additional 50-100 foot buffer around the location that you are interested in.
This allows software programs to more accurately stitch the area of interest, as the edges of a completed stitch tend to warp.
