Tram Lines are guidance lines shown in a differentiating color to help machine operators distinguish between regular guidance lines and guidance lines where adjustments must be made to the implement. For example, manually turning off planter sections to allow a drivable pass in the field at a predetermined spacing.

Operators can set up Tram Lines and view them on Guidance maps. Tram lines are compatible with Straight Track, AB Curves, and Circle Tracks.

Tram Line spacing and Tram Shifts are saved to the guidance lines they were set up for. Operators can recall Tram Line settings when a guidance line with Tram Line setup is selected.

When viewing Tram Lines on guidance maps the Tram Line currently being tracked on is light blue. Planned Tram lines are shown in bright green.

NOTE: Tram Lines work with existing guidance lines. Guidance lines must be created before setting up Tram Lines.
