- Live Path Feature: How do I see where I’ve already scanned while collecting data?

The Live Path feature in the turfRad mobile app shows your scan coverage in real time as you drive. It helps you maintain consistent spacing, avoid gaps, and improve overall data quality.

What It Does

As you move, the app displays your position and shades the area you’ve covered on the map. This gives you a clear visual reference of where you’ve already scanned.
