Tools Common to All Operating Modes
GPS Offsets
GPS Offsets allow you to enter forward/back, left/right,
and height offsets for the actual position of your GPS
receiver or where you would like your GPS signal to be
positioned even if you physically aren’t driving there or
don’t have your GPS positioned there. This for example
would be useful in situations where you are driving a field
boundary but can’t physically drive the true edge of the
field or can’t actually drive in the field but you know there
is a fairly fixed offset from where you can drive and where
the edge of the field is.
If you have set the GPS offsets for a Vehicle you have
selected to log/create data with you can select the Load
Vehicle Antenna Offsets button and the offset values you
have defined for that vehicle will fill for you automatically.
It should be noted that offsets are only applied to new data that is logged and offsets can be
changed at any time. Those changes however don’t apply to data you have already logged,
just new data that is collected.
To get to the GPS Offsets they are located in all operating modes via the GPS Offsets
button or through the Main Menu, then Map, and select GPS Offsets.
