The new EZ-Guide 500 lightbar guidance system, announced Jan 2007, features a large, easy to read color LCD display, data logging functions and multiple accuracy options. This system provides GPS-based guidance for vehicle operators to steer tractors, sprayers, fertilizer applicators, air seeders and large tillage tools that require consistent pass-to-pass accuracy to help save fuel, increase efficiency and reduce input costs for agricultural operations. The new EZ-Guide 500 features a large 7-inch LCD display, which is three times larger than the popular EZ-Guide Plus or any other available agriculture lightbar display. The system has a built-in lightbar with a guidance LED array that is highly visible even in direct sun. The EZ-Guide 500 also offers advanced but easy-to-use guidance patterns, as well as real-time "where-applied" coverage mapping. The plan and perspective views allow users to see on screen, in color and real-time, the area they have covered in the field. With the data logging function, users can record the days work and transfer it to a PC via a USB flash drive for creating printed maps and reports. The new EZ-Guide 500 system is designed to provide GPS positioning and graphic display for use with Trimble's assisted steering, automated guidance and spray rate control solutions: The EZ-Steer assisted steering system can be connected to the EZ-Guide 500 system in approximately 30 minutes and can be used on hundreds of vehicle models.
