Let's Get It Straight -- To do straight guidance, press "Straight Guidance" button. After showing the Outback® S where to start and which direction to go, it takes over and begins guiding on perfectly straight, parallel passes spaced exactly the width entered during setup.

In straight mode, the passes are predefined. Even if the driver gets off on one pass, the mistake won't be repeated on the next pass. The operator can do straight passes in any order, skip some and come back if desired. As the driver moves from one pass to the next, guidance snaps to the next pass automatically.

Contour Guidance

It's Freestyle -- To switch to contour guidance, press the "Contour Guidance" button. Unlike straight guidance, no predetermined lines are established. Contour Guidance guides only off the "last pass". So on the first pass, the Outback® S isn't guiding at all, just recording movements. Once the driver turns around or comes close to a previous pass, it immediately begins guiding along that pass. The Outback® S will guide from any previous pass no matter if it was done in straight or contour mode.

"Time For Lunch!" -- Oh, those details. So we need to leave the field for some reason. Just press the "Stop Guidance" button and then select "Return Here". This saves the job and the last point. The driver will be able to guide back to the last point and then resume the job with everything in memory just like it was left.

All Finished -- Then when when the job is finished press the "Stop Guidance" button. Then choose "Erase Memory". The memory will be erased and the Outback® S is ready for the next one.
