The GPS Accuracy Indicator in the Status Center displays the signal type from the GPS receiver and an approximation of the pass-to-pass accuracy.
When pass-to-pass accuracy is important, wait for indicator to show full strength before operating AMS applications.

Notes: "- - -" is displayed while acquiring GPS signal.
WAAS is available in North America only. EGNOS is available in Europe only.
SF2 is available on StarFire 3000 Receivers.
SF3 is available on StarFire 6000 Receivers.
SF-RTK is available on StarFire 7000 Receivers.
"GPS" is displayed when a third-party receiver has acquired signal.
When Shared Signal is in use, the lower correction mode is displayed.
RTK
|
Signal strength indicates RTK signal received from base station. |
|
RTK Extend allows AutoTrac to keep functioning when receiver loses line-of-sight to base station. See Extend Mode for more information.
SF2, SF3, or SF-RTK
|
Full accuracy. Ideal for row-crop applications. |
|
|
Acceptable for non row-crop guidance applications, including tillage, air seeding, and broad-acre spraying. |
|
|
Marginal accuracy. |

Third-Party Receiver
|
A solid bar indicates GPS signal is available. No accuracy information is provided. |
|
NOTE: When Shared Signal is in use, the weaker signal strength is displayed.
