Overview
The GeoSteer system is a high precision GPS positioning system and vehicle interface controller that provides additional
functions and features to the Display. The GeoSteer system interfaces with the Display to provide GPS positioning data from
many different possible sources and sends that information to the Display to give it position information. The GeoSteer system
is also capable of taking guidance information from the Display and interfacing with a vehicle to tell the vehicle where to steer
and provide AutoSteer functionality to the Display.
This Operator’s Manual provides information on how to setup, configure, and manage the various settings on the GeoSteer
system itself. Refer to this manual for instructions that pertain to the GeoSteer system. For information about setting up fields,
farms, guidance patterns, and other Display related functions, please refer to your Display Operator’s Manual for more
information.
The GeoSteer system can be installed easily on most agricultural vehicle makes and models. This chapter provides basic
