Overview
The Forest Eagle™ Software is a subset of the Yardmaster Premier Log System that allows the forester to expand and enhance the handheld cruise. The forester can maintain a database of the cruised areas including stand, plot, species, product and value to maintain a record of ownership or for re-evaluation purposes based on historical figures. The Forest Eagle software can extrapolate tree growth based on a number of factors to provide a more current snapshot of the stand over time.
Forest Eagle can import various plotted points generated from the integrated GPS unit and overlay them onto a topographic map creating a realistic representation of the stand. The software can generate an accurate outer tract boundary as well as inner boundaries for elements such as rivers, streams, swamps, roads or other items indicated during the cruise. Pictures taken with the 5 megapixel color camera can also be imported to better record the various features of the stand. Images can be geo-pinned so that each image is linked to a particular set of coordinates along with an optional notation providing more details about the land feature.
Features
- Download Timber Cruiser data to Forest Eagle database
- Maintain multiple stands (including plot, species, product and value)
- Estimate trucking, logging and improvement costs for bid report
- Maintain cruise price vs. bid price
- Data integration with Yardmaster Premier Log System
- Supports geo-pinning using GPS coordinates
