🗺️ How to Create and Send a Taskmap to LeapSpace (OneSoil Edition)
This manual is divided into two main parts: first, creating a Variable Rate Application (VRA) map using the OneSoil platform, and second, exporting and sending that taskmap to LeapSpace.
1. Creating a Taskmap in OneSoil
This section covers how to register your fields and generate prescription maps within the OneSoil ecosystem.
1.1. 📍 Field Setup: Registering the Field
There are three ways to add your fields into the platform to begin the mapping process.
Upload a File
Navigate to + Add fields → Upload file.
Supported formats: .shp, .kml, .json, .geojson, .kmz, .gpkg, and more (up to 10 MB).
Data transfer: If the file contains crop types, planting/harvest dates, or yield data, it transferred to.
Select from Map
OneSoil identifies field boundaries via satellite. Simply click the pre-identified field on the map and select Save.
Draw Manually
Navigate to + Add fields → Draw fields.
Use the mouse to place points and delineate custom boundaries if satellite detection is inaccurate.
1.2. 🎯 Creating a Prescription Map (VRA)
Once fields are defined, you can generate the specific application data needed for your machinery.
Individual Maps
Navigate to the specific field and select the tool to Create VRA maps.
Navigate to the Plant protection section within the field view.
Select the VRA Map (Variable Rate Application) tool to begin defining your zones.
Configure Map Parameters
Select Vegetation Index: Choose the appropriate satellite index (e.g., NDVI) to base your prescription on.
Define Zones: The system will automatically group parts of your field into zones based on productivity. You can adjust the number of zones (typically 3 to 7) to match your sprayer's capabilities.
Set Dosages: For each zone, manually enter the desired amount of product (e.g., liters/hectare or kg/hectare).
Batch Creation: If you are managing multiple fields with the same crop type, use the Batch VRA tool to create multiple prescription maps simultaneously, ensuring consistent application rates across your entire operation.
Refinement and Quality Control
Edit Zones: Use the manual editing tools to merge small zones or adjust boundaries where you know local conditions differ from satellite imagery.
Review Totals: Check the Total Amount summary to see exactly how much product (fertilizer, chemical, or seed) will be required for the entire field before exporting.
Select the type of prescription based on historical productivity zones or on a recent NDVI image. Check out our recommendations about which type to choose in this section.
Batch Creation
OneSoil allows for the creation of a batch of prescription maps for one specific crop to save time across multiple fields, to do this see this page.
2. Delivery to BBLeap (LeapSpace)
This section details the necessary connection setup and the final step of sending the created prescription map to your machinery via LeapSpace.
2.1. 🔗 One-Time Connection Setup
Before exporting, you must link the two platforms:
Navigate to the Management tab in LeapSpace and select Partner Integration settings in OneSoil.
Connect your LeapSpace account to enable direct wireless transfer.
See this page for more information.
2.2. 📤 Send Prescription Map
Once your prescription map is finalized, follow these steps to send it to the field:
Export Initiation
In the map view, click the Export button.
Select BBLeap from the list of providers and click Continue.
Machine Assignment
Name the map: Provide a clear name for the operator.
Select Machine: Choose the specific machine/sprayer you want to assign the map to.
Note: If no machine is selected, the map will be sent to your LeapSpace cloud but will not be assigned to a specific machine.
Final Transmission
Click Export. In a few minutes, the taskmap will be visible in LeapSpace and/or your sprayer’s terminal.
Next Steps: Once the map is sent, you can follow the guide for Starting the taskmap in the VT to begin precision spraying.
