Free ISOXML & Shapefile Viewer

Open an ISOBUS TaskData folder or a shapefile prescription map in your browser and see what the terminal will see: rates, treatment zones, field boundaries and as-applied logs. No sign-up, and your files never leave your device.

The two formats prescription maps travel in

ISOXML TaskData

The ISOBUS (ISO 11783-10) format used by in-cab terminals for tasks, prescriptions and as-applied records.

  • TASKDATA.XML
  • GRD*.BIN grids
  • TLG*.XML + .BIN logs
  • External XML files

Drop the TASKDATA folder, a zip of it, or the loose files.

ESRI Shapefiles

The most common way rate maps, zones and boundaries move between farm software, GIS and terminals.

  • .shp shapes
  • .dbf rates & attributes
  • .prj projection
  • .shx / .cpg

Select the parts together, or drop the zip they came in.

Catch a bad file in the office, not in the paddock

A prescription that loads with the wrong rates, the wrong projection or missing pieces wastes product and a trip. Check it before it goes in the cab.

Prescription maps & treatment zones

Task grids and zones coloured by rate in L/ha, kg/ha or seeds/ha. Zero rates are left clear, and the colour scale spans the 2nd–98th percentile so one outlier doesn't wash out the map.

Field boundaries & areas

Each field's drawn area sits beside the area stated in the file, and the viewer flags it when the two disagree.

As-applied logs

Logged points from the terminal plotted on the map with their logged values, so you can see what actually went on.

Shapefile attributes

Rate maps are coloured by their rate column automatically. Click any shape to see every attribute in the .dbf.

File checks

Missing external files, undefined IDs, grid files the wrong size, broken shapefile headers and a .prj that doesn't match the coordinates are each flagged as an error or a warning.

Data set summary

The products, devices, customers and farms in a TaskData set, with ISOBUS DDI codes translated into plain names and units.

NZTM, UTM & lat/long

Shapefiles are reprojected from their .prj, including NZTM2000 and UTM. If the .prj is missing, the viewer places the layer only when the coordinates are clearly lat/long or NZTM, and warns you.

Private by design

Everything is read in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, so it's safe to open a client's files.

How to check a prescription map

  1. Open the viewer

    It runs in any modern browser on desktop, tablet or phone. There's nothing to install and no login.

  2. Drop in your files

    Drag in a TASKDATA folder, a zip, or a shapefile's files together. You can also use Open zip or files or Open folder.

  3. Read the checks, then the map

    Start with the Checks list, then move between the Boundaries, Prescriptions, Logged points and Shapefiles tabs. Drag to pan, and scroll or pinch to zoom.

No file to hand? Load the built-in ISOXML or shapefile sample to see how it works.

Anyone who's been sent a map file

Contractors

Check the job before it goes in the cab: right paddock, sensible rates, the full set of files. Afterwards, open the terminal's as-applied log to confirm the job.

Consultants & agronomists

Check your own exports, or a file from another platform, before it goes to a client or contractor.

Farmers

Open a prescription or spreading record someone emailed you, without buying GIS software.

Questions about the viewer

What is ISOXML?

ISOXML (ISO 11783-10) is the ISOBUS standard for moving task data between farm software and in-cab terminals. A task set is usually a TASKDATA folder holding TASKDATA.XML plus binary grid (GRD) and log (TLG) files. It carries field boundaries, prescriptions, products and, once the job is done, the as-applied record.

Is the viewer really free? Do I need an account?

Yes, it is free. There is no sign-up, no trial and no ReviveAg account needed. Open the page and drop your files in.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. Your browser reads the files on your own computer, tablet or phone, and nothing is sent to our servers. That makes it safe to use with client data.

How do I open a shapefile?

Select all the parts of the shapefile together (.shp, .shx, .dbf and .prj, plus .cpg if there is one), or drop in the zip they came in. The .shp file holds the shapes, the .dbf holds the rates and the .prj says where on earth the shapes belong. With all three, the viewer can show the map properly.

Which coordinate systems are supported?

Latitude/longitude (WGS84, NZGD2000) and Transverse Mercator projections, including NZTM2000 and UTM, read from the shapefile's .prj. If the .prj is missing, the viewer places the layer only when the coordinates are clearly lat/long or NZTM, and warns you. Older NZMG/NZGD49 files are not supported.

Can I open a file exported from my terminal?

Yes, if the terminal exports ISOXML TaskData or shapefiles. Open the TASKDATA folder or zip to see the as-applied logs it recorded, plotted on the map with their logged values.

Can it edit or convert files?

No, it is a viewer and checker. To build prescription maps, use the ReviveAg platform. It creates flat, multi-rate and variable-rate recommendations and exports them as shapefiles or sends them to Tabula.

Build prescriptions on ReviveAg

ReviveAg is the white-label platform for independent farm consultants. Build flat, multi-rate and variable-rate recommendations from soil tests, satellite, EM and yield data, then export shapefiles or send jobs to Tabula. On ReviveAg, the viewer also runs on your own domain under your brand.

Revive Soil Solutions is now ReviveAg

Same people. Same values. Bolder vision.

A new name that better reflects where we're headed — a complete platform for independent farm consultants across all sectors.
