T.Map’s advanced technology interacts with the SitePro control system database to create dynamic graphic displays of your golf course. Using comprehensive interactive site maps on your computer screen, you can accurately locate irriga-

up real-time screens indicating areas in question, and then click on the map symbols to adjust sprinkler run times, engage rain holds, initiate starts and syringes, and more. Field-status monitors tell you which satellites and sprinklers are running and which are on hold, and alert

you to any problems.

You can also use SitePro and T.Map to display simula- tions of projected water flow, measure areas and distances, issue work orders, help in event planning and many other tasks.
