Advantages:
The Tractordrive company offers commercial GPS self-guidance systems for tractors that allow the vehicule to make equispaced passes showing only centimeter errors. These systems also facilitate that, from year to year, the distance between two passes only differs a few centimeters. Currently, the system is based on the latest generation of Android tablets. Therefore, it is an economical and versatile guidance system, with a simple and intuitive interface, which includes zoom as well as 2D and 3D representation.
