PIQ is the future!!
When the TMX/XCN 2050 was first released about 6 years ago it was only available with PIQ but it soon became apparent that it couldn't do much of the stuff that the old FMX could do, so Trimble developed and released the FMX+ plus app.
With every new firmware release more features are being added to PIQ so now it can nearly do everything FMX+ can plus it can do some things FMX+ can't, such as the tramline feature.
PIQ also works much better with ISOBUS implements than FMX+.
There were some major changes to PIQ around v.4 and again at v.5 which made it much more user friendly and intuitive.

Ok. Just to finish thread.
I now have xcn 2050 (CNH flavour) running latest firmware. Ez pilot and piq app. Working great but I have to write down tram numbers. There does not seem to be any option in field manager to set tramline bouts - not that I can find anyway.

you can if you go into your guidance lines settings option . its the little gear symbol with lines on it on the left of the run screen just below the little running man which is just below the little home button. you can set a run as the tramline and tell it the spacing. each tramline will then come up a different colour

I am not at tractor till tomorrow but am pretty sure that option is not there on mine. What screen/system is yours as my XCN 2050 seems to have less options than TMX 2050?? Hope you are right?

Does this screen (xcn1050 in my case) have the capability to turn the tractor around at the headland using next swath, and if so is it difficult to set up? Is it an unlock on the "lite" screens

Not a great picture but this is a New Holland XCN 1050 screen about a year old with tramlines marked in grey (every 8 bouts).
Bloody godsend this year after my drill tramliner started playing up, missing a count now and again.
It cant do auto turn at the headland, unless the newest version can.

Its a total extravagance on the area I've got but I actually enjoy drilling grain now!!

Thanks a million guys! Found it?‍♀️?‍♀️
Just two thick questions! Presume 7 swath spacing for 31m right? Also do you have to enable tramlines each time you set an ab line on new drilling job or just turn on tramlines once?

I think you have to enable once for every field, after that it stays on.

It's an unlock on all screens except CFX/FM750 which can't do it.
It's not exactly hard to set up, but there are a lot of settings to input.

There is a workaround on the older kit.
The guy who does my drilling turns off the coverage logging on the tramlines so he can count across the swaths from the last one as a check. It relies on remembering to manually turn it off, but from his coverage logging he manages it every time.

Is PIQ available on the CNH factory fitted IntelliView 4 and Pro700 terminals with level 3 unlock (RTK) ?

I was talking about NextSwath, automated headland turns.
