A line follows a narrow feature. A point identifies a focused location. These are mapping choices; a mapped point is not automatically a buried drip emitter.<\/p><\/section><section><h2>IrriSense 2 Product Context<\/h2><p>IrriSense 2 documentation describes area, line and point mapping with individual schedules for mapped zones. The diagram explains those choices without reproducing the app interface.<\/p><\/section><section><h2>Common Misunderstanding<\/h2><p>Software-mapped zones do not necessarily require a separate underground valve for every area. Mapping determines where watering is directed; timing is a separate setting.<\/p><\/section>   <section><h2>Related terms<\/h2><ul><li><a data-glossary-link=\"related-term\" href=\"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/glossary\/irrigation-controller\/\">Irrigation Controller<\/a><\/li><li><a data-glossary-link=\"related-term\" href=\"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/glossary\/irrigation-zone\/\">Irrigation Zone<\/a><\/li><li><a data-glossary-link=\"related-term\" href=\"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/glossary\/weather-based-irrigation\/\">Weather-Based Irrigation<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/section>   <section><h2>Learn more<\/h2><ul><li><a data-glossary-link=\"guide\" href=\"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/smart-controller-explainer\/\">What Makes an Irrigation Controller Smart: Sensors, Weather Data, and ET<\/a><\/li><li><a data-glossary-link=\"guide\" href=\"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/smart-irrigation-pillar\/\">The Smart Irrigation Pillar: How Modern Watering Systems Actually Work<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/section>  <\/div>\r\n  <script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"DefinedTerm\",\"name\":\"Irrigation Mapping\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"description\":\"Irrigation mapping is the definition of locations or boundaries that an irrigation system uses to direct watering.\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/aiper.com\\\/blogs\\\/glossary\\\/irrigation-mapping\\\/\",\"inDefinedTermSet\":\"https:\\\/\\\/aiper.com\\\/blogs\\\/glossary\\\/#terms\"}<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":13585,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"aiper_reading_time":1,"aiper_last_reviewed":"","aiper_reviewer":0,"aiper_related_ids":[],"aiper_layout":"tool","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-14079","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"lang":"en","translations":{"en":14079,"de":14099,"fr":14119,"es":14139},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14079","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14079"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14079\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14159,"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14079\/revisions\/14159"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
