change in the reported vehicle position with respect to fixed objects
such as the field boundary or guidelines. This is largely due to
changes in the satellite constellation patterns.
Other factors such as having no clear access to the sky (operating near
trees or other obstacles) and satellite data errors may also result in a

Note: It is also possible to reposition the vehicle position to a
selected flag point, refer to Removing or changing a flag point, page

compensation is achieved.
2.
Select Reset GPS drift to remove the selected GPS drift
compensation.
