    Note:  To delete a layer, select the Trash button next to it. The layer will not be permanently deleted and can be reactivated at any time.

The direction layer has a live direction widget that allows for a live view. When the widget is enabled in the widget sidebar, the live direction layer can be enabled by selecting the widget on the Run screen. When activated, the live direction widget will turn green .

When live direction is activated, red arrows indicating drive direction will appear once the following conditions are met:

  • The master switch is turned on.
  • Coverage is currently being applied.
  • The distance between arrows is equal to or greater than 50 meters.
  • The driving direction COGClosed Course Over Ground change is equal to or greater than 90 degrees.

Configure Direction Layer

To configure direction layer options:

  1. Select and hold the driving direction widget on the Run screen. The Driving Direction Config window will open.
  2. Drag the Arrow Size slider near the top of the window to increase or decrease the size of the direction arrows.

    Note:  The Auto Scale checkbox locks the slider and scales the arrows automatically in proportion to the zoom level of the map.

  3. Select the Cover Center checkbox to position the arrows in the center of the coverage. By default, the arrows are positioned in the center of the vehicle position.

When the altitude or velocity layer is activated, the coverage applied will not show the rate mapped color but instead will show the color corresponding to the layer value (altitude/velocity). Use the Layer Legend widget to change the automatically selected colors.

Configure the Velocity/Altitude Layer

To configure the velocity and/or altitude layers, the Layer Legend widget must be enabled on the Run screen. When enabled, the Layer Legend will display colors with listed values that corresponding to the colors of the velocity/altitude layer.

To configure the velocity/altitude layer:

  1. Select and hold the Layer Legend widget on the Run screen. The Layer config window will open.
  2. Input the desired values in the Max and Min Altitude range and Velocity range fields.
  3. Drag the Legend colors slider to change the colors of the coverage.
  4. If desired, select the Autoscale legend checkbox to automatically generate the max and min values, and automatically scale the legend to the current velocity/altitude. By default, Autoscale is disabled and the max and min values can be altered manually.
  5. Select Accept to save the displayed changes. The active layer will reload.

Note:  Product Maps must be unlocked to be accessed. Refer to Feature Unlocks Overview for more information on unlocking features.

Product maps are controlled by crop registration. Crop registration displays information and the properties of the applied product when driving through already-applied coverage. The user can configure products with crop registration via the Product Manager.

Note:  Refer to Create a New Product in the Product Manager for more information on adding products to the Product Manager.

The product map layer uses crop registration to display color-coded coverage, showing the applicator what product was applied during coverage. When enabled, each registered crop will display a unique color for the coverage of that product. Product maps can be freshly generated or loaded from previous coverage.

Configure Product Maps For a New Job

To configure products for a Product Map in a new job:

  1. Start a new job in a desired field.

  2. On the Product To Implement Assignment screen, select the Edit button on the right side of the page.

  3. Select the desired product, and enter a new default setpoint, if applicable.

  4. Start the job. If the Product Maps layer is active, any coverage from the selected product will be displayed in the coordinating color.

Product Maps in-Job Operation

There are several options when operating a job with Product Maps enabled, such as:

  • Switch Products - Use the Product Assignment widget to switch between products.

  • View Recently-Planted Product Details - When driving through applied coverage, the Crop Registration widget will display the following information about the coverage: product name, GFFClosed Grower, Farm, Field data, applied area, distance to the next crop, total distance of the applied area, and four of the configured properties of the product.
