How to Capture Your Farm Using Google Earth for Wi-Fi Mesh Coverage with PAStech Rural

Follow these steps to map your farm on Google Earth so we can assess your Wi-Fi mesh coverage needs:

1. Open Google Earth:
   • Navigate to the location of your farm. For example, if your farm is in Bundaberg, Queensland, search for Bundaberg.
2. Set Up a Project:
   • Click on the “Projects” icon.
   • Select “New Project” and choose “Create Project in Google Drive.”
   • Name your project (e.g., “Test Farm”).
3. Draw Farm Boundaries:
   • Click on “Draw a line or shape.”
   • Start by selecting a starting point on your farm.
   • Outline your farm by clicking at each corner or significant point.
   • Complete the shape by clicking on the starting point.
   • Name this shape (e.g., “Farm 1”).
   • Click “Capture this view” to save the boundary.
4. Mark Important Points:
   • Identify key locations like pumps, significant features, or points of internet access.
   • Click on “Add placemark.”
   • Place the marker on the map and name it (e.g., “Pump 1”).
   • Click “Capture this view” to save the location.
5. Repeat for Other Features:
   • Continue to mark other important locations, such as:
     • Additional pumps
     • Internet access points (e.g., “House with Internet Access”)
6. Export the Project:
   • Once all points and shapes are marked, go to the project menu.
   • Select “Export as KML file.”
   • Save the file to your preferred location (e.g., Documents or Downloads).
7. Send the File to PAStech:
   • Email the saved KML file to Steve French at steve.french@pastech.com.au.
   • We will use this file to build a quote and determine the best coverage solution for your farm.
