Naming maps correctly is an important step to ensure you maximise the benefit of Land App, particularly in organisations with many users.

For the Map name:

  • Farm Name_Surname - "Manor Farm_Smith"

  • Estate Name_Surname - "ParkEstate_Smith"

For project/ plans name


We recommend that you follow the structure:

  • “Template Type_HoldingName, Surname” or "Template Type_HoldingName_Year"

  • for example: “BPS_ManorFarm_Smith” or "CSS_ParkEstate_2022".
