T
oro has made irrigation man-
agement easier by making it
more advanced. Building on
our history of innovations and leadership
in irrigation systems, we consistently
incorporate the appropriate technology
into our products.
The development of Toro’s PC-based
SitePro
®
central control system gave
superintendents an amazing way to
improve irrigation management and stay
informed. As good as SitePro is, those
capabilities can be taken to an even high-
er level.
With Toro’s T.Map
TM
, included in the
SitePro software, you can create a precise
graphic representation of your golf
course. T.Map puts a new world of
resource management right at your fin-
gertips, because you can use it to make
instantaneous system adjustments with a
click of your mouse.
T.Map’s advanced technology interacts
with the SitePro control system database
to create dynamic graphic displays of
your golf course. Using comprehensive
interactive site maps on your computer
screen, you can accurately locate irriga-
tion elements such as
sprinklers, pipes,
sensors, pump sta-
tions, electrical lines,
valves and
wire splices.
T.Map also
shows you
the precise,
in-scale locations of physical features on
your course, such as greens, bunkers, cart
paths and so on, right down to individ-
ual trees.
With T.Map software, you simply pull
up real-time screens indicating areas in
question, and then click on the map
symbols to adjust sprinkler run times,
engage rain holds, initiate starts and
syringes, and more. Field-status monitors
tell you which satellites and sprinklers are
running and which are on hold, and alert
you to any problems.
You can also use SitePro
and T.Map to display simula-
tions of projected water flow,
measure areas and distances,
issue work orders, help in
event planning and many
other tasks.
Control is Just a
Click Away
“With T.Map, you are
looking at your course on the
screen, just as it is physically
in the real world,” explains
Aivars Jurkis, Toro’s Senior
Customer Support and
Technical Advisor. “You get a
picture of your course with
all these dots on it to show
the irrigation stations. You
just click on the ones you
want.” It’s that simple.
“The SitePro
engine runs the irri-
gation system.
T.Map just allows
you to view the set-
up a lot more
graphically,” adds
Bill Thornton,
Toro’s Western
Regional Sales
Manager. “That
helps especially
when the
operator
isn’t a
computer
expert.”
“For example let’s say there’s a spot
that’s dry on the golf course, and you
want to give it more water,” Jurkis
explains. “Just click on the head there.
T.Map will ask you how long it should
