GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS) /
ANTENNA LOCATION
The GPS antenna’s mounting location must be entered into the VT in
relation to the tractor and the implement to establish an accurate reference
point in the field.
TRACTOR OFFSET
Antenna location is based on the distance of the center rear implement axle
to the location the antenna is mounted on the tractor. GPS coordinates can
then be precisely calculated for all devices connected to the Virtual
Terminal.
Three offset positions are required:
• Antenna to the rear axle center position
• Left or right position the antenna is from the rear axle
• Forward or backward position the antenna is from the rear axle
NOTE: Reference the GPS operator’s
manual for preferred mounting
locations.
