6 Mapping and Guidance
106 FM-750 Display User Guide
Using FreeForm curves in spiral fields
If you are creating a spiral into the center of the field, drive the full circuit and then
back onto the start of the FreeForm curve. Continue to record your guidance path as
you spiral toward the center of the field.
If you encounter an obstacle in the field, continue to record your path as you drive
around it. On the next pass the guidance line will adjust to reflect this.
Note – When you create a spiral with the FreeForm guidance pattern, there may be a
space at the center of the spiral.
Using FreeForm curves in fields with variable terrain
Start and stop recording guidance at the ends of each pass. If there are two guidance
lines in close proximity, tap to snap to the correct line.
At any point you can add a straight AB line for repeated straight line guidance.
Tap to switch between straight AB and FreeForm curve guidance lines.
Coverage logging
Coverage logging draws a solid block of color behind the vehicle to show the area that
you have applied. When you pass over an area for the second time, the color of the
covered area changes. This is useful for viewing overlaps.
To begin coverage logging tap while you are driving; to finish coverage logging
tap .
Note – There may be a delay between the time you start or stop coverage logging onscreen
and the time the implement actually starts or stops coverage. To compensate for this you
can add a time delay to the drawing of coverage logging. See Coverage on/off delay,
page 92.
Note – Field coverage is limited to 1000 acres for each event.
The pause / resume function
When you tap Pause , an icon appears on the screen to show your exact location
when the guidance was paused. This enables you to return to that position in the field.
When you pause guidance:
• Your current position relative to the pause icon appears in the status bar at the
top of the screen.
• The guidance line that you were on is displayed, even if you drive onto another
swath.
• The pause/resume icon remembers the vehicle position even when the lightbar
is turned off.
