Mobble Map

The Mobble Map is a handy way to navigate your farm in Mobble. Read on to find out where to start mapping your paddock boundaries and all the things you can do with Mobble Maps. But first, two things to note:

• Adding and editing paddock boundaries is best done via the Mobble web app, but can also be done on the mobile app if you prefer this option.
• Mobble's mobile app can access and use these maps on and offline.

If you've got an existing map file (KML, Shapefile, Geojson), send it through to us at hello@mobble.io and we can upload it for you.

If you'd rather skip maps for now, you can add your paddocks in from the paddocks page using the plus button in the bottom right.

Web and Mobile App

• Select the Map Options button in the top right to change what you can see on the map. There are options here to choose from a range of satellite imagery providers.
