Area file upload restrictions
Area files have to meet the following requirements when uploaded into the app:
- Files have to be in one of the supported formats:
- ESRI Shapefile (zipped - all the files pertaining to the shapefile have to be uploaded as a single zip archive)
- GeoPackage
- GeoJSON
- GPX
- Files have to contain coordinate system information
- our system does not infer coordinate systems for file uploads and files lacking CRS information will be automatically rejected
- The areas have to be inside the continental United States (the data extent)
- if your file is getting rejected with an "out of bounds" error, please make sure that your coordinate system information is correct
- Area geometry has to be one of:
- Polygon
- MultiPolygon - automatically split into Polygons, with each stored as an individual area
- LineString - e.g. a GPX Track, automatically converted into Polygon
- MultiLineString - automatically split, converted and stored as multiple areas
- MultiPoint - e.g. GPX node sets, one area is defined per MultiPoint as a convex hull of the points
Additionally, the total farm area limit of 10000 ha applies.
