Rtx Rangepoint drilling pictures

[Farma Parma]

Not a problem I've come across with my intelliview screens or an older FMX 750 screen I used to run, sounds like a glitch that might be able to be sorted??

pass ive no idea... how do you tell if anythings actually wrong??
I was told in advance it would poss do this

No idea, sorry!!

Just sounds odd, the signal is fine so the finger points to the screen/software...

I think this is just satellite drift is it not? With Rangepoint RTX, if you disappear out of the field for a bit or stop for lunch or drive into a shed to refill the sprayer etc or even just take a while filling up with seed the line can move left or right a bit from where it should be, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, all it needs is a couple of buttons presses to 'shift to here' and its all sorted again.

Thats 100% what it does & like ive said i was told by installers/dealers this would be the case.
i agree with RTK this wouldnt be an issue.
A savvy operator like myself can overcome this tho & still praise the system for what it is & does save you.
i will deffo have this on another tractor thats a fact.

so ive heard but its at a cost....

RTK could be much less expensive than rangepoint, for me it certainly is. Perhaps not the correct thread to discuss further (?).

Yes it does seem like this after re reading farmer parma's post, I've never had it drift more than a few CM though, to be several ft out seems alot

I might be wrong but thought that the drift took place in a figure of eight around the mark and shouldn't be out by more than the signals level of accuracy ??

Several feet sounds odd, unless it is a convergence issue. 30 cm should be no surprise.

I assume they talk about absolute accuracy here, not pass-to-pass within 15 minutes)?

whats VRS now? never heard of that? no mention of RTK there neither??

 

[Farma Parma]

my drilling & infact cultivation jobs ive used my system for this 1st season would easily be within a few cms
poss no more than 5cm could even be less & thats on standard "Rangepoint RTX"

VRS Now is the Trimble branded RTK service with corrections delivered using the mobile network.

In the UK it is the same basic RTK correction network that is owned and operated by the national Ordnance Survey (OS Net) and is re-packaged and resold variously (at difference markets and price points) as Trimble VRS Now, Leica SmartNET, TopNet from Topcon amongst others.

there is a glicth in version 1-1.51 in the software were you dont open a new feild now and then and just keep on using one and the same feild and just continue puting in new A-B Lines it will start loosing its fix points for the A-B lines due to too many A-B lines and they will start to float just like you decribed. the fix is to as you did to remark the line to were you are or just open up a new fresh feild.

Ive got the screen in the house over the winter now anyways

If you plug it in you will be able to find out what software version you are running somewhere in the settings menu of the screen.

You can find your firmware version in diagnostics.
To see what unlocks and subs you have go into app central, press the three lines top left corner then press licences,
