Options For Smart Phone Tractor Guidance
Whether you have an Apple, Android or other smartphone, you have plenty of low-cost GPS navigation options for tractors. Mount the app-equipped smartphone in the tractor, sprayer or combine cab, and simply follow the on-screen icon, adjusting the steering wheel as you go.
The app stores are well stocked, as are websites on the internet. It’s been noted that some apps share remarkably similar product interfaces, including purchase screens, prompts to rate the app, and review sections that look less than authentic.
Agricision’s onTrak claims to be the only user-friendly tractor GPS system. AgriBus-NAVI claims to help farmers worldwide save money and farm better. FieldBee offers a wide range of navigation tools, including a simple GPS tractor navigation app. There is also Farm Navigator, Tractor GPS and more.
Some offer simple, straight-line guidance. Others include field mapping and other data-gathering features. Most are free... initially. However, monthly subscriptions usually begin after the free period ends.
Evaluating options can be difficult because it requires jumping from one web page to another. It’s also often challenging to identify the parent company.
GLandNav, GLandGo, and UTM Maps are apps available from Hong Kong-based 4Digsoft. They offer navigation, field measurement, route and work planning, and much more for farmers worldwide. The company details its product features.
With so many apps offering a free introductory plan, the best option may be to download and evaluate several. Some plans automatically charge after the free trial ends, so be sure to cancel before that date if the app isn’t delivering what you’re looking for.
Monthly plans vary widely: GLandNav starts at $4, while FieldBee starts at $50.
If you’ve tried a tractor navigation smartphone app, share your experience with FARM SHOW via our website, email or letter.
