Thanks for choosing to sign up to PASource. Before you get started there are a few things you should know.
Creating an account
As we mentioned, signing up and digitising boundaries is free for individual users. If you are a service provider or similar entity that has a requirement for multiple users/farms, please contact us for information on our service provider packages.
Browser Requirement
PASource will work with most browsers however we recommend the use of Google Chrome. This browser offers a more stable environment for PASource and can offer speed advantages over other browsers. It can be downloaded here for free.
Internet Requirement
PASource will work with most speeds of internet connection however we do not recommend dial up services. A faster broadband connection is desirable particularly when viewing and editing data layers and using the zoning tool. Downloading data layers using a mobile 3G connection has been tested and offers adequate speed however speeds will depend on your mobile service provider and your data pack type.
The PASource application is about 800kB, and is downloaded once and cached whenever it is updated. Data layers are always uploaded fresh. Some example sizes for a 900Ha farm: 10m pixels, 150kB. 30m pixels, 23kB.
Data Storage
Digitising farm maps, adding soil transects and adding notes will not be subject to the data storage fee – these activities are free. The storage of yield, EM, NDVI, gamma*, elevation* or similar data will be subject to the data storage terms. More information is available when you log in.
* Gamma & shuttle elevation layers are provided soon after boundaries are digitised. These will be subject to storage fees three months after they appear within your log in.
