Figure 2-16 Antenna Fore/Aft
The GPS antenna can be mounted in front or behind the Pivot Point. Press the button that indicates which side of the Pivot
Point the GPS antenna is mounted. If the value is 0.0, it does not matter which button is pressed.
• Fore – This indicates the GPS antenna is located in front of the vehicle’s Pivot Point.
• Aft – This indicates the GPS antenna is located behind the vehicle’s Pivot Point.
After Antenna Fore/Aft has been entered, press the Blue Right Arrow button to continue to the next step
Antenna Lateral Offset
The Antenna Lateral Offset is the distance from the center of the drawbar to the GPS antenna. This value should be 0.0 if the
GeoDock is mounted in the center of the vehicle. If the GeoDock is not mounted in the center, measure this offset and enter it
into this screen. This value will be adjusted later after the calibration process is complete to ensure the center of the vehicle is
in the same position going both directions on the same A/B Line.
Note: If the Antenna Lateral Offset is ever changed by more than 4.0 inches (10.2 cm), a new calibration procedure must be
performed on the vehicle.
Take a tape measure and measure the distance between the center of the vehicle (typically the draw bar) and the GPS antenna
on the GeoDock. Enter that value into the Antenna Lateral Offset window.
Note: Be sure to verify that the measurement entered is in the same units that the display is expecting. The expected unit of
measurement is shown to the right of the data input box.
Note: The units of measure shown in the AutoSteer Setup pages are configured on the Display side and passed to the GeoSteer
menus. Refer to your Display Operator’s Manual for instructions on how to set the units of measure.
Note: This measurement should be accurate to within 1 inch (2.5 cm).
