Driving on Large Fields
At distances greater than 10 km (6.2 miles) from the original AB Line, the curvature of the Earth's surface can
cause a reduction in GPS position accuracy. Consequently, the lightbar does not support more than 1024 swaths to
the left and 1024 swaths to the right of the original AB Line.
If you need to create more than 1024 swaths either to the left or the right of the AB Line, do one of the following:
Create a second AB Line
•
Use the A+ pattern
•
This will ensure that you maintain the highest level of steering accuracy.
Driving Tight Turns
By default, the EZ−Guide 500 system smooths out tight turns. This makes it easier for the driver (or the EZ−Steer
or AgGPS Autopilot system) to follow the curve without overshooting the turn. Because the guidance line is
being gradually smoothed out, this can result in minor skips in coverage between the swaths.
To configure curve smoothing, select Configuration / System / Guidance / Minimum Turn Radius Mode. There are
three options:
ITEM DESCRIPTION
Automatic
The minimum turn radius is the larger of 80% swath width or 10 meters. Curves that are tighter than
the minimum turn radius are smoothed.
Manual
User−configured minimum turn radius. Curves that are tighter than the minimum turn radius are
smoothed.
Disabled
Curve smoothing on tight turns is disabled. (Tight turns are curves with a radius of less than 3 m (10
ft)).
CAUTION: If you disable curve smoothing, the EZ−Steer 500 system or the AgGPS Autopilot
system may not be able to autosteer around the tighter turns. Be careful when you disable curve
smoothing.
