FARMNAVIGATOR MANUAL

Product catalog summary
Scope of Delivery and Mounting:
The Farmnavigator package includes the device itself, chargers (220V and 12V), a GPS receiver, extension cable, car holder with suction cup, magnet mount, and USB cable. The manual provides detailed instructions on mounting the device using the magnetic car mount and connecting the necessary cables for power and GPS functionality. It emphasizes the importance of not removing the SD card while the software is running to prevent data loss.

The Farmnavigator:
The Farmnavigator menu includes options for managing fields, configuring spray booms, and adjusting settings. Users can create new fields, work on existing ones, and measure field boundaries. The spray boom feature allows for virtual configuration of sprayer sections and nozzles, aiding in precise chemical application.

Farmnavigator Settings:
Users can adjust settings such as working width, guiding lines, GPS receiver offset, area unit, and minimum speed for GPS recording. The device also supports Bluetooth for hands-free calls and has a camera function for rearview display.

Create and Work a Field:
Users can create fields by entering the fields database and selecting 'Create New'. The Farmnavigator records the track, work time, and other metrics. It can also measure field boundaries and position soil samples or obstacles.

Guiding Lines:
The system offers three navigation types: Parallel, Contour, and Tram Line, each suited for different field shapes and existing tram lines. The navigation aid provides directional guidance to maintain alignment with guiding lines.

Fields Database:
The database allows users to edit field data, rename fields, clear obstacles, and export data as .kmz files for use in Google Earth. It reiterates the caution against removing the SD card while the software is active.
