After pouring over many word/phrase searches for "scalable grid overlay," "adjustable square grid for Google maps," and every other conceivable combination, I am just about ready to give up! Maybe some of you here can point me to help...or the edge of a cliff! Here is what I want to do. Some details first. -I am in the agriculture industry. We grow many thousands of acres of vegetables that are consumed in the US. -We plant all these vegetables on a daily basis on any number of our different parcels throughout the county. -In, say, a field (parcel) that is 45 acres, we may plant on day one 6 acres of Iceberg Lettuce. Next day, 2.5, and so on. -In reality, we would like a means to use an ipad or computer to access Google maps to select and zoom in to the parcel that was planted and then using the measurement tool, measure (as closely as possible), how many acres were planted on a particular planting.
Here is the problem. I can do this now but it dose not do what we really need. What I really need is some way to create a grid that can be overlaid over Google maps that is of a particular scale. For many crops such as romaine, lettuce, and cabbage for example, we plant the crops on beds that are 3.5 feet from bed top center to bed top center. And for other crops like spring mix or spinach, we plant crops on beds that are 7 feet from bed top center to bed top center. So in this case, I need two grids: one that is 42 inches wide and another that is 84 inches wide. I can take this grid now, place it over my field, and can now estimate how many beds were planted, should be planted, etc. The other issue, though, is the smallest zoom level in GM is 200ft and so that will make the beds (grid) very small. Is there a way to increase the zoom beyond this 200 ft? This may be difficult to understand. Sorry about that.
