Questions, answered

The short version of everything people ask before mapping their first site.

Getting started

What is WorldAG?

WorldAG turns the spaces of an agricultural operation into web addresses. You draw your farm, greenhouses, and sections as polygons on a map, give each a short name, and every one becomes a link like gh-10.riverbend.worldag.ai that you can share.

Who is it for?

Growers and greenhouse operators first, and then everyone who has to find their way around those operations: agronomists, contractors, distributors, drivers, certifiers, and seasonal crews who change every year.

What does it cost?

Creating an account and mapping your operation is free today, with no credit card. If we introduce paid plans for larger operations, they will be published on this site first.

Do I need GPS hardware or a drone?

No. You draw directly on satellite imagery in the browser. If you already have survey data from GPS equipment, you can import it as GeoJSON instead of redrawing.

Addresses & naming

What does an address look like?

It reads from the smallest space to the largest: section-1.gh-10.riverbend.worldag.ai is section 1, inside greenhouse 10, on the Riverbend farm. Each level is also its own address, so riverbend.worldag.ai shows the whole operation.

What can I name a space?

Names follow web address rules: lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. Short names work best because they are typed on phones and printed on labels: gh-10 beats greenhouse-number-ten.

Can I rename or redraw a space later?

You can redraw a boundary at any time and the address keeps working. Renaming is also possible, but it changes the address, so links you shared under the old name will need to be sent again.

How deep can the hierarchy go?

As deep as your operation needs. Most growers use two to four levels, like farm, greenhouse, and section. The practical limit is readability: an address should still fit on a crate label.

Sharing & access

Who can open a shared address?

Anyone you give the link to. That is the point: a distributor, a contractor, or a new crew member opens it like any other web page and sees the outlined space on the map.

Do viewers need an account or an app?

No app and no account. Addresses open in any modern browser, on a phone in the field or a desktop in the office.

Can people who view my map change it?

No. Viewing an address never grants editing rights. Boundaries, names, and the hierarchy can only be managed from your account.

Can I put an address on a QR code?

Yes. Every space is a normal URL, so any QR generator works. Growers print them for gate signs, greenhouse doors, and crates so a phone camera takes you straight to the right spot.

Data & technical

Can I import existing mapping data?

Yes. WorldAG imports GeoJSON, the common format exported by QGIS, ArcGIS, and most farm-management tools, so years of boundary work carry over instead of being redrawn.

Is there an API?

Yes. WorldAG exposes an OAuth2 API with personal access tokens, so you can connect your farm-management system or build your own integrations. Token management lives in your dashboard.

How accurate are the boundaries?

As accurate as the imagery and your drawing. That is plenty for navigation, logistics, and day-to-day coordination. WorldAG addresses are not a legal survey and do not establish property boundaries.

Is my map data private?

Your account data stays private. A space becomes reachable by others when you share its address, so share the level you are comfortable with. The details live in our privacy policy.

Still deciding?

The fastest answer is drawing one greenhouse and opening its address on your phone.
