Redesign of guidance screens and support for vertical screen layout
For a long time, the guidance screen could only be displayed in a horizontal layout and was forced to rotate, but with this redesign, it finally supports a vertical layout.
The fill button has been changed from a slide button, and the speedometer, GNSS status, etc. have been moved to the lower left.
The buttons lined up on the left side are, from the top, Return to Home, Settings, 走行基準線 Information Tray.
The horizontal screen layout has also been changed as shown above.
The “Help” button has been removed from the right side of the screen.
There was also a button to open the work width setting, but since the work width and guidance interval can be set on the screen before guidance starts, we have lowered its priority and moved it to the settings screen.
Support for guidance operation in screen sleep
Another important feature added in this update is support for guidance operation in screen sleep mode.
During guidance, work records can now continue to be saved even when the screen is put to sleep (screen turned off) by pressing the power button or other buttons.
When the guidance screen is not needed, the screen can be turned off to conserve battery power.For those who have been suffering from battery consumption on their smartphones and tablets, please try the operation in screen sleep.
Also, since the screen can be put to sleep and the 作業履歴 can be kept in a pocket, we believe that the system could be used to record what work was being done when not on the tractor, for example, in a plastic greenhouse or garage.
App icon change
The application icon has been slightly changed as shown above. Can you see what has changed?
Official support for Hokuren RTK system
This function is limited to Hokkaido only, but we have linked our system with Hokuren Agricultural Cooperative Federation to officially support the Hokuren RTK system.
By entering your user ID and password registered with the Hokulen RTK system, as well as the base station port number for your area, you can access the AgriBus-NAVI can receive correction information directly from the Hokuren RTK system. (No need to run the Hokuren RTK application).
Please note that registration with the Hokuren RTK system, an Internet connection, and a smartphone/tablet or ” AgriBus-G2 ” capable of receiving correction information are required to use this service.
In addition, the “Demonstration” menu item in the Ntrip V1 menu has been removed to accommodate this change. Thank you very much to all parties involved who have been using this service.
