The GeoSteer Fore/Aft measurement is the distance the GeoSteer Control Unit is attached to the vehicle as compared to the
Pivot Point of the vehicle. The Pivot Point of the vehicle is the same point that was used to enter the Antenna Fore/Aft. For an
explanation of the location of the Pivot Point on the vehicle refer to the Antenna Fore/Aft section on Page 32. First identify the
Pivot Point on the vehicle that the GeoSteer is being installed on. Take a tape measure and measure the distance between the
Pivot Point and the center point of the GeoSteer Control Unit shown in Figure 2-20. Enter that value into the GeoSteer
Fore/Aft 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).
Figure 2-21 GeoSteer For/Aft
The GeoSteer Control Unit 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 GeoSteer Control Unit is located in front of the vehicle’s Pivot Point.
• Aft – This indicates the GeoSteer Control Unit is located behind the vehicle’s Pivot Point.
After GeoSteer Fore/Aft has been entered, press the Blue Right Arrow button to continue to the next step.
GeoSteer Lateral Offset
The GeoSteer Lateral Offset is the distance from the center of the drawbar the center point of the GeoSteer Control Unit shown
in Figure 2-20. Unlike the Antenna Lateral Offset, This value should not be adjusted once entered unless it’s later determined
to be incorrect. Take a tape measure and measure the distance between the center of the vehicle (typically the draw bar) and the
GeoSteer Control Unit. Enter that value into the GeoSteer 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.
