G7 Plus Farmnavigator

Your Guide to Precision Farming

7” Parallel Guidance + Automatic Section Control
+ Auto-Steering + Road Navigation

Versatile and easy to install

G7 Plus Farmnavigator is very versatile as it comes with 3 serial ports and 3 different power cable adapters for any kind of vehicle:

Cigarette lighter plug,
Cobo adapter,
Spade terminals to feed it directly from a battery.

The installation takes only few minutes:

Place the Farmnavigator on the bracket
Plug the power cable
Connect the external antenna into a DB9 connector.

Multi-touch Display and Remote Control

Multi-touch Display
Top-notch electronics at the service of agriculture: an incredibly bright 7” sun-light readable display with 16 million colors.

Hand gestures
Use multiple-finger gestures on the multi-touch display to scroll menus or to zoom in and out the field view. when in field view you can keep an eye on all the most important data and everything is just a touch away thanks to the collapsible menus. You can also use the remote control to ensure precise commands even when driving over bumpy fields.

Farmer-friendly Software with WiFi updates
The interface is intuitive, with large buttons for each function.
Software is updated through Wi-Fi: it has never been so easy!

Map your fields

Start creating your fields’ database:

measure your field boundary
calculate the area
and save the position of obstacles or soil samples.

Satellite Assisted Parallel Guidance

Choose the guidelines for your activity and follow the guidance cursor to correct your driving.

Choose among A-B parallel lines, identical curves, adaptive contour or pivot guidelines.
Save and recall guidelines for further activities in the field.
Make sure the guidance line is always visible through the circle on the top of the smart cursor. The cursor will help you understand the tractor turn radius, to quickly correct your steer.

Headland Management

When starting a job, you can create a headland within the field boundary, based on your working width.

The Headland Management function is very useful for irregular fields such as triangular fields. When active, the Automatic Section Control will close the sections of the implement at the headland border, the headland can be worked at the end, avoiding unnecessary overlaps.

The headland function can be used with A-B parallel guidelines, identical curves and adaptive contour guidelines.

Jobs Database

G7 Plus Farmnavigator records data for each Job: farmer, activity, field, implements used, products used, worked area, total time etc.

Manage your data: fields and jobs can be exported to Google Earth as .kmz files.

Section Control

Configure and control your implements:

Create a profile for each implement and activity e.g. seeding, fertilizing, or spraying: set the working width, or the number of boom sections and their individual width.

Then choose a profile and get indications for manual boom switch control to start reducing costs and protecting the environment.

Control your implements

Connect a compatible controller to G7 Farmnavigator for higher precision and greater productivity. G7 Farmnavigator calculates the exact treated area and controls automatically the boom sections based on the position received by the DGPS antenna.
You can still close or open manually a section from the display forcing the automatic control.
Compatible with:

         - MC elettronica VT 5,7"
         - Caffini CB9
         - Geoline Geosystem 260
         - Farmscan Unipod
         - Agromechanika Ag-tronik 14

Extensions: Auto-Steering

G7 Plus Farmnavigator can be used with the Farmnavigator Auto-steering to achieve the maximum precision and reduce the operator fatigue.

The Farmnavigator Auto-steering System controls your vehicle steering and helps you stay on track, perfectly following the guidelines set on the Farmnavigator.

You can disengage the Auto-Steering by firmly grasping the steering wheel; you can engage it again very easily by tapping the icon on the Farmnavigator display.

Videocamera connection

Control your camera from the G7 Farmnavigator display through the USB-VideoIN-Ethernet cable provided in the box: perfect for rear view or to monitor sensitive points of the implements.

Satellite Navigation

Offline Satellite Navigation with HERE maps

You can use G7 Plus Farmnavigator all year round to navigate to you fields or to anywhere else, thanks to the Road navigation function and HERE maps included!

Navigate with Satellite Navigation software by AvMap
Listen to turn-by-turn instructions with the Bluetooth speaker.
You can choose among three maps: Europe / Brazil / South Africa

Choose the GPS receiver that best suits your job

Add to the Farmnavigator a smart GPS receiver: you can choose any GNSS receiver with NMEA0183 output. We offer three options for different needs and budgets.

When choosing the receiver, ask yourself: what do you need it for? What is the precision required by your job?
Do you need it for basic precision operations such as mapping your fields, spraying, fertilizing, or do you really need auto-steering for more precise applications?
