13.2. Using identical curve guidelines
Some fields are not rectangular and have a curved or shaped boundary.
For these, identical curves may be the best option for guidelines. This
can be useful for steering the boundary of a field and using this
guideline for future operations.
Identical curves allows the operator to set a curved guideline and the
system will create equidistant guidelines across the field, based on a
swath width.
1. Position the vehicle.
2.
Select / Guidelines Menu / Change Guidance Mode,
if necessary, to choose Identical Curves .
3.
Select Create New Identical Curve .
4. Select GUIDELINE NAME.
5. Enter a name, if desired, and confirm. Confirm the new guideline.

vehicle on the map to indicate the curve that is being recorded.
Note: If required, recording the guideline can be paused.

At the end of the curved swath, select to indicate the end of the
curve recording.

Some fields are best worked in a circular shape. This setting allows the
