Guide Mate
The Guidance, or Guide Mate, module of Site Mate adds an on-screen light-bar to Farm Site Mate Basic. Guide Mate is the first product to provide an affordable guidance solution that works on industry standard Pocket PCs.
Guide Mate was developed by Raven Industries based on years of experience in the GPS guidance market. Guide Mate provides an easy-to-follow, on-screen light-bar and steering needle.
Guide Mate is fully integrated with Site Mate Basic so users can quickly flip between the light-bar display of Guide Mate and a coverage map generated with Site Mate.
Guide Mate features include:
- Easy to follow "driver friendly" guidance screen with a lightbar and intuitive steering needle.
- Headland guidance indications and numerous driving patterns.
- Driving patterns include Straight A-B, Contour, Pivot, and more.
- Runs on Pocket PCs such as the Compaq iPAQ.
- Works with any GPS receiver that outputs NMEA 0183 (note that 5 hz output is recommended for best results).
- No external light-bar required.
- Can be used in conjunction with Raven light-bars with options to control the lightbar.
- Log an unlimited number of attributes along with coverage data.
- All data is logged in Site Mate in industry standard ArcView Shape Files.
- Upgrade Site Mate Basic to Site Mate Scouting or Site Mate VRA to log application rates from a wide range of controllers.
- Site Mate VRA also provides the ability to load a prescription map and to vary product application
