Abstract: Agricultural machines utilize global positioning systems (GPS) to acquire the location of the machine as well as the location of an event, which may be based upon an operation of the agricultural machine. Because of the possibility of outage and/or inaccuracy of the GPS, a GPS augmentation system can be included with the agricultural machine. The GPS augmentation system can supplement the location determination of the GPS, or can be used in place of the GPS when the GPS is not available. An unmanned vehicle can also be used as part of the augmentation system to provide additional information for the location of the agricultural machine and/or the event.

Abstract: A predictive path lookahead system is used with an agricultural vehicle and/or agricultural implement. A variety of factors relating to the vehicle and/or implement are input into the system in order to measure and process the vehicle and/or implement's motion. A navigation orientation tool is also input into the system. The system then generates a predicted lookahead trajectory and/or predicted future position of the vehicle and/or implement and can display the predicted lookahead trajectory and/or predicted future position to a user. The system can automatically turn ON and/or turn OFF a row unit or can manually alert a user when to do so based on the predicted trajectory of the implement. The system can engage in auto-steering to operate the vehicle and/or implement autonomously.
