Cedar Rapids, Iowa | Having written code to do section control and do boundaries, I can assure you that the math behind the scenes is far more complicated than the picture you see on the screen. There is an algorithm to check if a point is inside or outside of a polygon with any number of points. For our purposes, the software checks that it is inside of the external boundary, and that it is outside of the internal boundaries (like waterways). The simplest way to code this is to check against one outside boundary, and one inside boundary. Thus if you have multiple of either, they have to be joined into one. That is done with land bridges, although the connection should be automatic and not be shown on the screen.
Some people want section control to turn things off when outside the external boundary, some people do not. With our Insight, we've had the outside section on the planter turn off when getting too close to the edge of a field, and it is quite annoying.
