1.3 How to install Turtle Smart antenna

The procedure described below refers to Turtle Smart antenna, since it is entirely produced by AvMap
and it is the most common type of antenna used by our clients. (Please, contact the assistance if you

need clarications about the installation of third-party antennas).

Turtle Smart is provided with three magnets which ensure a quick installation on a ferromagnetic
surface.

1.3.1 How to connect Turtle Smart antenna to G7 Farmnavigator

Turtle Smart antenna is provided with a 9-pin serial cable which transfers data and power supply
between G7 Farmnavigator and Turtle Smart antenna.

Turn o󰀨 the device, and connect the 9-pin serial cable to the cable located on the bracket, marked

with “GPS Antenna”.

1.3.2 Antenna position– Transverse axis

The antenna must be located in the exact centre of the tractor. Carefully measure the exact centre
of the tractor to determine the central axis.

YES NO

Table 1.3.a How to install the antenna - Transverse Axis

1.3.3 Antenna position - Longitudinal axis

It is advisable to locate the antenna as close as possible to the front steering axles.

YES NO

Table 1.3.b How to install the antenna – Longitudinal Axis

AvMap G7 Farmnavigator – User Manual

1.3.4 Antenna position – Height

The e󰀨ects of antenna height have to be considered in case of jobs on steep sloping grounds. In
these cases, it is recommended to install the antenna on the front of the tractor so as to reduce tilt
and oscillation error.
In all other cases (jobs on the level ground), the antenna may be positioned on the top of the tractor.

Slope Flat

Table 1.3.c How to install the antenna – Height

3D/SPS Low accuracy, it is not suitable for any type of job.

NO GPS

If the antenna icon (Figure 3.1.c) is green in all its parts, the receiving conditions are perfect.
Otherwise, wait a few minutes, clean the antenna and get the device away from metal obstacles or
dense vegetation.

Decimetre accuracy, very high precision level. It does not t for those jobs which

require 1-2 centimetres precision.

Sub-meter accuracy, middle level of accuracy, perfect for the majority of job. It
includes the correction provided by geostationary satellites SBAS (EGNOS,
WAAS, etc.).

No GPS signal, the antenna is disconnected or it is in a place where there is a total
coverage of the signal (inside a building).

3.2.3 Field

In order to dene a eld, go along the eld perimeter and activate eld registration mode.
The term eld refers to the physical perimeter of the eld. “FIELD” function allows you to save the
position of the eld. It is possible to carry on the activities even during the measurement of eld

This function is essential when you need to:

- Leave a precise distance between one A-B line and the other;

- Create “Streets” in sowing area, usually used for irrigation;

- Split the parcel into precise portions.

In order to use “Streets” function:

1. Tap “A-B”;
