Turn Predictor

Turn Predictor alerts the operator by predicting the end of pass and displays the distance to the end of pass in the top right portion of the map view. Turn Predictor defaults to ON and may be turned ON/OFF in Guidance Settings. Distance will count down to predicted turn and tones will sound when machine is 10 seconds from intersecting turn point and again when predicted turn point has been reached. A visual indicator is displayed 10 seconds before approaching a predicted turning point. When the system detects a previous turn on a previous pass, the distance to that turning point will be displayed. The visual indication on the Perspective Map is accompanied by tones.

Turn predictor is intended to only predict turn point of a vehicle using Parallel Tracking or AutoTrac. It is NOT a headland alert. Turn predictions are based solely on previous turn behavior of vehicle. Turn points are also defined when AutoTrac is deactivated and the heading error exceeds 45 degrees. Turn predictions will not coincide with field boundary if field boundary is not linear and continuous, or if operator makes turns before or after field boundary.

If there is a seat switch timeout (operator out of seat for 7 seconds on tractors, 5 seconds on combines and sprayers), the display resets Turn Predictor back to ON.
