When approaching the end of a swath, the EZGuide system will use this headland boundary instead of the end-zone defined by the A and B points to indicate when you are approaching the end of the swath. For regular guidance, the large central LED shows green, orange, or red depending on where you are in the spray zone. Area 6 AREA 2 Area point Calculated acreage Red + 5 2 + 6 Red to choose that pattern. A new area value is displayed each time the key is pressed. Tip: Spray a headland around your field and set area points to calculate area at the same time. Acreage calculations take the current swath width into account, so you should drive a half-swath in from the field edge. Area points may be added in both Guidance mode and Area mode.
