Is there to be a round 4?
Yes, we went for a Trimble 750 with EZ Pilot running on RTK. It's fantastic & wouldn't be with out it now.Was anybody successful in the last round to get a grant for gps?

Our land agent did it for us as they have a high success rate and we wanted to make sure we got the grant. I think there will be more grant funding. Do your research now to find out which GPS equipment you want and apply early if there is another round of funding.Was it a complicated process to apply etc to get it? Want to use gps for mapping where mucks been spread etc so hoping they'll do it again

Will this grant come round again, and if so, could it be used on the portable units such as the patchwork black box?
Just wondering, once you have purchased your grant eligible items, I assume you send off a copy of the invoice for the item and is there anything else you need to do to prove you have purchased the agreed item? We are eligible for several different things, GPS included, as well as livestock related items. Many thanks
Need to get approval (of grant application) before any purchase. Then buy it and send invoices and photo evidence of equipment including serial numbers and keep an asset register of it for 5 years.
