How does the Tractor GPS app work?

The Tractor GPS app uses your phone's GPS to create virtual guidance lines in your field. You simply set your implement width, set your starting A point and ending B point, and the app guides you to drive parallel lines with sub-meter precision.

Next-Gen Precision Field Navigation

Precision Tractor GPS App – Field Guidance & Navigation for iPhone & iPad

Professional-grade precision guidance without expensive console hardware. Turn your iPhone or iPad into an agronomy-grade tractor sat nav to drive perfectly straight parallel lines, track real-time coverage, and eliminate overlaps.

How Tractor GPS Works on Your iPhone or iPad

1. Mount & Set Implement Width

Secure your iPhone or iPad to your tractor windshield using a standard glass suction mount. Enter your implement's working width in meters or feet (e.g. 12m sprayer, 6m seeder, or 24m spreader).

2. Set AB Reference Line

Line up at the edge of your field and tap Set A. Drive straight along your initial pass for at least 20 meters and tap Set B. The app automatically projects straight parallel guidance tracks across your entire field.

3. Follow Lightbar & Track Coverage

Steer using the responsive visual lightbar indicator to stay on track. Real-time coverage mapping paints worked areas so you never double-apply inputs or miss strips.

Key Features for Precision Agriculture

Straight AB Line Guidance

Maintain consistent parallel passes across long field runs. Eliminates operator fatigue and prevents zigzagging rows.

Real-Time Coverage Mapping

Live visual color overlays show worked acreage during spraying, fertilizer spreading, seeding, mowing, and tillage.

Field Boundary & Acreage Measurement

Drive or walk any field perimeter to instantly compute total acreage, hectare area, and perimeter distances with high GPS accuracy.

100% Offline Navigation

Operates in deep rural locations with zero cellular coverage. GPS satellite positioning functions completely without Wi-Fi or mobile data.

Universal Tractor Compatibility

Compatible with all machinery makes including John Deere, Case IH, New Holland, Kubota, Massey Ferguson, Mahindra, and Claas.

Session History & Logs

Save field boundaries, track historical driving paths, average speeds, and completed hectare logs locally on your device.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a tractor GPS app?

A tractor GPS app is a mobile application that provides real-time satellite navigation and parallel guidance on your iPhone or iPad, helping farmers drive in straight parallel lines, minimize implement overlap, and calculate field areas.

Does the tractor GPS app work without internet?

Yes! The app is designed for 100% offline operation in remote fields. It connects directly to satellite GNSS constellations (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS) and computes AB guidance lines, speed, heading, and coverage locally without requiring cellular data.

Is the Tractor GPS app compatible with all tractors?

Yes. Because Tractor GPS runs independently on your iPhone or iPad, it is compatible with all tractor brands and models including John Deere, Case IH, New Holland, Kubota, Massey Ferguson, Mahindra, Fendt, CLAAS, Deutz-Fahr, and Yanmar.

What devices work with the Tractor GPS app?

Tractor GPS works on all iPhone models running iOS 15 or newer (iPhone XS, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16) and iPad models with Cellular capability (which include dedicated built-in GPS receivers).

How accurate is the GPS guidance?

Under clear skies, modern iPhone multi-frequency GPS delivers sub-meter (around 30–50 cm) pass-to-pass accuracy, which is ideal for spraying, fertilizer spreading, mowing, and tillage.

How do I measure a field with my phone?

Open Tractor GPS, select Boundary Measurement, and drive or walk around the perimeter of your field. When you close the boundary loop, the app automatically calculates the exact area in acres or hectares and perimeter distance.
