John Deere Operations Center Map View

See equipment, field activity, and location history in one place

Map View in John Deere Operations Center gives you a high-level look at your operation. It shows connected JDLink machines, field boundaries, and past machine paths so you can quickly understand what is happening across your fields.

 

What Map View shows

When you open the map, you can see where your JDLink machines are and zoom out to view field boundaries across the operation. The map also gives you a clear way to review earlier work and location history by date.

The map can color fields by the last work type, including tillage, seeding, harvest, or no work data. You can also change the coloring to show the last seeded crop, planned crop, or a single-color view depending on how you want to read the map.

How to open the map

  1. In Operations Center, click Map at the top of the screen.

  2. Review the overview of your operation and the machines currently reporting.

  3. Zoom in or out to focus on fields, equipment, or travel paths.

  4. Use the field-color options at the bottom of the map to change how fields appear.

Field color options

The video highlights several ways to label or color fields on the map. These views help you quickly tell where work has happened and what crop may be in a field.

  • Last work type. Fields are colored by the most recent activity, such as tillage, seeding, harvest, or no work data.

  • Last seeded crop. Fields can show the crop last planted, such as corn, beans, or wheat.

  • 2025 planned crop or 2026 planned crop. These only work if you use the Work Planner feature and have a scheduled crop plan for the field.

  • Single color. All fields display in one color for a more consistent view.

The last seeded crop view is especially helpful when the field’s last work type is hard to read against the map background.

Location history

A useful part of Map View is the calendar tool, which lets you go back and see where machines were on a specific day. After selecting a date, the map shows that day’s machine movement and travel lines.

When you zoom in, you can see the green travel lines and identify exactly which machine was in that location, along with the date and time stamp. This makes it easier to piece together what was done, where it happened, and how the field was covered.

Why this is helpful

Map View helps you answer common questions faster, like where a machine ran, what work was completed, and which areas of a field were covered. It also gives you a better way to review past work without needing to rely on memory or separate notes.

For day-to-day operation tracking, it is a simple way to see the big picture and then drill down into the details when needed.
