The following information is displayed on the Base Station Location screen:
• Saved Location – This is the location of the Base Station that the GeoSteer has stored in its internal database. If the
information was stored from a surveyed Base Station, this information will be the same as the location currently
transmitted by the Base Station. If this location was stored from an unsurveyed Base Station, this information will most
likely not be the same as the location being transmitted by the Base Station. This is the stored location and therefore will
not change.
• Current Location – This is the location that the active Base Station is currently transmitting. If the Base Station is not
surveyed in, this position will slowly drift.
• Difference – This displays the distance between the Saved Location and the Current Location. This value will be zero if
the Saved Location was stored from a surveyed Base Station.
• Base Completed 24 hr Survey – This indicates whether or not the Current Base Station location has completed a 24
hour survey. A complete 24 hour survey is required to achieve an accurate latitude and longitude.
• Update – This button tells the GeoSteer to update the latitude and longitude of the Saved Location to match the Current
Location. This should only be performed after the 24 hour survey has completed.
Update Base Station Location
Note: Use the Update feature only if the existing jobs and information recorded prior to the 24 hour survey are not necessary
to repeat. All jobs and information created using the GeoSteer prior to the Update will shift after the position is updated.
Note: The Update function only works with the Base Stations that output proprietary INX correction protocol.
You can begin using your GeoSteer system with an unsurveyed Base Station and use the Update function later if your current
job(s) meets all of the following criteria:
• You want to begin work before the Base Station has completed a 24hr survey at the current location.
• You initial work does not require an accurate latitude and longitude for record keeping or to transfer to a 3 rd party software
or device
• Your initial work does not require repeatability (the ability to AutoSteer over the same guidance paths).
Do not use your GeoSteer system until the Base Station is surveyed if the criteria above are not met
Do not use the Update function if your current job(s):
• Requires accurate latitude and longitude for all work (in this case a complete 24hour survey is required).
• Requires repeatability but does not require accurate latitude and longitude for any part of the work (in this case neither a
24hr survey nor use of the update function is required).
Note: For more information on “repeatability”, accurate latitude and longitude, 24hr survey, and Base Station setup
information, refer to your Base Station Hardware Manual.
