Adjusting Your Position
GPSteer precisely bases its guidance on the swath line you set using the A|B line and your entered swath
width. However, you may need to make position adjustments due to natural hazards, such as a stream cutting
through your field.
Turning the rotary dial left or right while in Run mode will adjust either the heading angle or the
position (to the left or right) of the current swath line depending on if you are currently in Skew or Offset
mode. To select Skew or Offset mode, press to access the main
menu and select the Swath Setup menu. In the Steer Type field, press
to toggle between Skew and Offset modes.
Skew
Skew allows you to adjust the heading angle of the current swath line.
