You can connect to the NTRIP client with only two models of GPS receivers, the ALL IN ONE RTK and TURTLE RTK, the difference between the two is that:
ALL IN ONE RTK -> It is not necessary to connect to WI-FI to connect to the NTRIP client because it is equipped with an internal SIM for the connection.
TURTLE RTK -> You need to connect to a WI-FI network to connect to the NTRIP client because it is NOT equipped with an internal SIM for the connection.

To connect to the NTRIP client, follow these steps:
        1.Turn on the device(G7/G12)
        2.Access the “SETUP” page
        3.In the “Satellites” page scroll down until you find the “NTRIP client” section
        4.Enter the data to connect to the NTRIP client
        5.Click on “Connect”
It is possible that the problem depends on how the guidelines were recorded, particularly if so it deals with parallel lines and towed vehicles. The start of line recording (i.e. the moment you press to start recording) it must NOT be done with the vehicle stopped; this is because the saved point may not exactly match with the point where the truck is, and consequently the parallel line will be "oblique" with respect to the real drawn line.
 
To significantly reduce the error it is necessary to start the vehicle and keep it at a speed of about 7km/h and make sure that the medium itself is well aligned. Once this is verified, while driving press to start recording from the point A. Then press again when the key button is active again to complete the line registration.
Issue is caused by setting of Minimum speed, setted as 0 km/h, not optimal for this kind of antenna. Setting at 0,5 km/h shall fix the issue.
The Farmnavigator Auto-steering System controls your vehicle steering, and helps you stay on track following with great precision the guide lines set on the Farmnavigator.

This way, you can switch from the "light bar" system to automatic driving, meaning you can focus on controlling the implements instead of worrying about the steering wheel, which improves the quality and effectiveness of the job. Such a system is very useful in scarce visibility conditions, in case of fog and dusty fields.

You can disengage the auto steering by firmly grasping the steering wheel; vice versa you can engage it very easily by tapping the corresponding icon on the Farmnavigator display.
The Farmnavigator Autosteering system supports all vehicle interface types: Mechanical, ISO/CAN,
Hydraulic and Factory steer ready. Custom install kits are available to simplify installation for over 750 models of agricultural machines.
The MDU mounts on existing steering wheel without requiring its removal thanks to the Patented universal ring gear. The MDU simply clamps on and off for fast and easy transfer across vehicles of different brands and types (tractors, sprayers, spreaders or combines).


In a already worked field to clear the Guiding Lines and the Worked Area is possible, but to change the settings of the Spray Boom is not possible.
