How do I create a map?

Reference maps provide essential guidance for the system, enabling it to accurately display target locations during operation. These maps serve as a visual aid, assisting operators in aligning the planting process with predefined targets, ensuring precision and efficiency in the field.

You can create maps in two ways:

First, you will learn how to import a file.

Creating a map from a file

3. Now, for the type of data to be transferred, select Markers.

4. With a flash drive inserted into the display, choose the files you want to import and press OK to confirm.

5. When the transfer is finished, press OK.

You have completed the process of importing a map! Next, you will learn the alternative option of autogenerating a map.

To create a map, on the operation screen, with the Markers menu open, a second option will be visible on the right side of the screen.

Ensure the planting head is positioned over a target, with the excavator arm aligned in the direction of a planting line. Then, click the button highlighted above. The system will generate reference points and lines extending from the planting head in the direction of the excavator arm, creating a new map.

Tip: The distance between lines and the spacing between reference points along a line are defined in the Excavator Configuration settings. Click here to learn how to configure these settings.

If you would like to save the map, select Yes.
