About this app

MachineryGuide is the best low-cost GPS guidance application for Android devices which supports all tractor and non-tractor related field works including spraying, fertilizing, plowing harvesting and sowing. Along with the software, MachineryGuide users can purchase highly accurate GNSS and RTK solutions which provide submeter, decimeter, and centimeter accuracy. These solutions enable all farmers to build their own professional precision farming GPS system at very low price for agricultural machinery such as tractors, harvesters, sprayers etc.
The guidance application helps the farmer by showing the ideal track by gearing to straight or curve reference lines. The cultivated area and the overlaps are all displayed, with the option to further upgrade the application with Boom Section Controllers to automatize the avoidance of overlaps and application rate.

This is a demo version, NO GPS is available in it.

Main features:
- Visual section control (for agricultural sprayer, seeder etc.)
- Straight and curve guidance patterns
- 2D and 3D view
- Snapshot view on Google Maps
- Dataset visualization on Google Maps
- Session reports, KML export possibility
- PDF export possibility
- Field boundary handling
- Night mode
- 3D models: arrow, tractor, tractor with sprayer, tractor with fertilizer, harvester
- Built-in GPS and external Bluetooth GPS connectivity
- Support for landscape and portrait mode

Applications:
Depending on the used accuracy of the GPS/GNSS device, the software is can be used for:
- fertilization
- manuring
- spraying
