GK Mapping Services - Confidence Mapping
Confidence mapping takes the guesswork out of zone creation.
A premium service exclusive to GK. Send years of maps for a field, from 2 up to 52 of them, and GK proprietary formulas merge them into three maps that show where the field is stable, where it is erratic, and what it can produce.
What you get
Know which acres you can count on.
Most zone maps show high and low. A Confidence Map shows how consistent each area of the field is, so you can decide how to manage every part of it.
Years of data, merged
Merge anywhere from 2 to 52 maps of one field into a single stable result, instead of betting your zones on one season.
Stable vs. erratic ground
See how confident GK is that each area will produce at a given level, so you manage steady ground and erratic ground differently.
Zones and yield goals, ready
The Average Production Map is usually used for management zones and the Yield Potential Map for yield goals, ready for your variable rate plans.
The deliverables
Three maps from one field.
Real Confidence Mapping output for one field. Using GK proprietary formulas, the input layers are merged together to form three maps.
How stable each area is
It does not show high or low production. It shows how consistent each area is, marking the erratic and stable parts of the field.
What the field can reach
Data that does not rise to a given production level is removed and the rest averaged, showing the highs. Usually used for yield goals.
Every layer, normalized
All the layers normalized into one map, with a mean output near 1. Usually used for management zones.
