An irrigation management system (52) includes a monitoring system (56), a controller (54) and a user interface (66). The monitoring system monitors an operational status of the irrigation system (58, 60, 62), including a current position, a travel status, a direction of travel, and a fault status. The user interface displays a map view of a geographic area including an irrigated area corresponding to the irrigation system. A graphical element in the map view provides a visual indication of the operational status of the irrigation system. The controller receives monitoring information from the monitoring system and continuously updates the user interface to reflect changes in the operational status of the irrigation system, such that the graphical element reflects a current status of the irrigation system.
