Optional fine tuning. Changing anything below switches Performance mode to Custom.
Standard loads camera-visible and movement-direction detail first on capable desktops; constrained devices use saved areas only.
FieldForge is managing map memory and detail within these limits. Offline storage is controlled separately under Offline data.

5×5 saves this map window plus two neighboring windows in every direction. County resolves the county around the current map point.
Standard saves each high-resolution map area. Refined adds one exact child level; Deep saves two levels for workstation-class close terrain.

FieldForge will stay under this app limit; your browser or device may enforce a lower quota.

Portable .ffmap files contain only the complete coverage, layers, and terrain depth selected above. Large packs stream directly to a drive when the browser supports it; importing automatically reconnects saved tiles to FieldForge.
Choose the coverage, layers, and terrain depth you plan to use, then run this check before leaving service.

Bring your own Anthropic (Claude) API key. It's stored only on this device and used to call Claude directly from your browser — it never passes through FieldForge's servers.
🔒 Your maps, acreage and yield numbers are never sent. Only what you type here, plus your crop list, goes to Claude.
Outline a ranch or lot on the 3D terrain to measure acreage from your map outline. It is an estimate, not a legal survey. Here's all you need to start:
DDraw — click points around a field, then Enter or double-click to close it.
MMeasure distance, area & an elevation profile (not saved).
KMark a shop, building, gate or yard.

📏 Setback / buffer acreage
A buffer strip around the lot edge — how many acres it takes, and what's left to plant.
ft
You set the distance. The real required buffer depends on the chemical label, your county ag commissioner, and the adjacent use (school, home, waterway). Geometry + acreage only — not a compliance determination.
