1. An apparatus to identify sensitive areas, comprising: a module to electronically receive sensitive area information, the sensitive area information related to one or more sensitive areas proximate to a first specified location;a module to electronically receive an identity of a first substance to be sprayed at the first specified location; andan alert mechanism to provide an indication of a first sensitive area proximate to the first specified location which is sensitive to the first substance. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the alert mechanism includes a display and a visual alert. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a location identifier to determine the location of the apparatus. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the location identifier receives location information from a Global Positioning System (GPS). 5. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the apparatus receives input regarding a potential application including at least a date and time of a potential application, and the one or more substances to be applied to the locations proximate to the one or more sensitive areas. 6. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the apparatus receives input regarding a potential application including at least one or more spraying system parameters. 7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the one or more spraying system parameters includes droplet size, desired pressure, or drift reduction technology credits. 8. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the apparatus further includes a module to determine instructions for the application of the one or more substances to the locations proximate to the one or more sensitive areas; and a module to operate a spraying system according to the instructions. 9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein operating the spraying system may include one or more of changing the speed of the spraying system, changing the direction of the spraying system, altering the droplet size of the spraying system, or changing the boom height of the spraying system. 10. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a substance database, the substance database includes a plurality of substances and information regarding the sensitivity of at least one of plants and animals to the plurality of substances, the plurality of substances including the first substance. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, further comprising an interface through which the first substance is selected from the plurality of substances. 12. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the substance database includes a buffer zone requirement. 13. A method of identifying sensitive areas, comprising: providing a handheld device having a first specified location;electronically receiving with the handheld device sensitive area information, the sensitive area information related to the one or more sensitive areas proximate to the first specified location;electronically receiving with the handheld device an identity of a first substance to be sprayed at the first specified location; andproviding with a display of the handheld device a visual indication of a first sensitive area proximate to the first specified location which is sensitive to the first substance. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the handheld device creates a log file including information related to the first substance and the sensitive area. 15. The method of claim 13, wherein the handheld device interfaces with a database to receive the sensitive area information. 16. The method of claim 13, wherein the handheld device overlays the sensitive areas on a map. 17. The method of claim 13, wherein the handheld device corresponds to a current location with the first specified location. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the current location is identified with a Global Positioning System (GPS). 19. The method of claim 13, wherein the handheld device is spaced apart from the first specified location. 20. The method of claim 13, wherein the handheld device also receives information from a spraying system. 21. The method of claim 13, wherein the received sensitive information includes information regarding the first sensitive area and a second sensitive area. 22. The method of claim 13, wherein the received sensitive information includes information regarding the first sensitive area and a second sensitive area and wherein a visual indication of the second sensitive area is not provided with the display of the handheld device because the second sensitive area is not sensitive to the first substance. 23. The method of claim 13, wherein the received sensitive information includes information regarding the first sensitive area and a second sensitive area and wherein the visual indication of the first sensitive area has a first characteristic and a visual indication of the second sensitive area is provided with the display of the handheld device having a second characteristic, the second characteristic being different from the first characteristic. 24. The method of claim 13, wherein the first specified location is one of a current location of the handheld device or a location input into the handheld device. 25. An apparatus to identify sensitive areas, comprising: a module to electronically receive sensitive area information, the sensitive area information related to the one or more sensitive areas proximate to a first specified location;a module to electronically receive an identity of a first substance to be sprayed at the first specified location;a location identifier operable to receive location information regarding the location of the apparatus;an alert mechanism to provide an indication of a first sensitive area proximate to the first specified location which is sensitive to the first substance; anda module to operate a spraying system according to at least the sensitive area information, the identity of the first substance, and the location information. 26. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the location identifier receives location information from a Global Positioning System (GPS). 27. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the apparatus receives input regarding a potential application including at least a date and time of the potential application, and the one or more substances to be applied to the locations proximate to the one or more sensitive areas. 28. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the apparatus receives input regarding a potential application including at least one or more spraying system parameters. 29. The apparatus of claim 28, wherein the one or more spraying system parameters includes one or more of droplet size, desired pressure, or drift reduction technology credits. 30. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein operating the spraying system may include one or more of changing the speed of the spraying system, changing the direction of the spraying system, altering the droplet size of the spraying system, or changing the boom height of the spraying system. 31. The apparatus of claim 25, further comprising a log file to capture information related to the spraying system, wherein the log file captures one or more of a substance being applied, a date, a current time, the current location of the spraying system, a location of a projected route, an amount of deviation from an actual route to the projected route, actions of a user, information regarding current weather, the location of the one or more sensitive areas, a proximity of the spraying system to the one or more sensitive areas, and a warning. 32. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the log file is electronically transmitted to a system.
