FieldAgent Web now supports the ability to exclude individual data points from your spot scout maps. Removing points will affect how your data is displayed on the map, your field's zonal statistics and the histogram.
Why Exclude Data Points?
Any imagery which is not representative of the field can be considered for exclusion. Images taken at the edge of the field are good candidates for exclusion, as they might include trees, water, roads or other unique features.
