This page will walk through how to transfer a boundary file from your Surety account into your AgPilotX navigation software. There are two scenarios based on whether Surety is being used on a separate computer or device from the iPad containing AgPilotX or if Surety/Surety Pro is be used on the iPad with the AgPilotX software.

Click to jump to either scenario.

Send a Shapefile of a mapped boundary from Surety or Surety Pro on a separate device or computer to the AgPilotX app on an iPad.

When accessing Surety or Surety Pro through a separate computer or device from the AgPilotX iPad, we can use the email function within Surety to seamlessly transfer the boundary file.

Once one or more boundaries have been drawn or selected, create a map or form. We recommend an Aerial with GPA form or any custom form created for your account.

Fill in any desired and required information if in an application form then click the Email PDF button.
