Trimble Navagation LTD.NEW! EZ-Guide 500 Lightbar Guidance System
The world's first GPS lightbar with color display, mapping and steering capable of one-inch accuracy
The EZ-Guide® 500 represents the latest innovation in lightbar guidance systems with a large color screen – over 300% larger than the EZ-Guide Plus or any other lightbar on the market. The AgGPS® Precision dual-frequency L1/L2 GPS receiver allows users a variety of accuracy upgrades-based on crop and operation needs-without purchasing an external receiver:
Most of today's lightbars can't be upgraded to higher accuracy without adding an external GPS receiver that may cost you several thousand dollars. But a typical EZ-Guide 500 high-performance package will cost you about 20-30% less than comparable solutions available today. Color display on the EZ-Guide 500 system provides graphic quality currently available only in displays twice the size and price. It offers advanced but easy-to-use guidance patterns, as well as real-time "where-applied" mapping. The EZ-Guide 500 system also has a built-in lightbar with 31 guidance LEDs that are highly visible even in bright daylight.    The new EZ-Guide 500 system is designed to provide GPS positioning and graphic display for Trimble assisted steering, auto guidance and spray rate control solutions:
Performance highlights:
Jarvis: The big color screen and having the buttons right on it. You can mount EZ-Guide 500 on the side window and punch away while you're going-you don't need a remote. The other thing I liked is that with accuracy upgrades, you can turn on the receiver option you need-WAAS, OmniSTAR, or even RTK. Trimble: How will the EZ-Guide 500 system fit your local growers' operations? Jarvis: I think the main benefit will be record keeping. Let's say you have it on your sprayer-it'll record what you did, where you did it. Traceability and proof of everything you applied to the crop is going to become very important. That really scares some farmers, but EZ-Guide 500 will do it for them as they're going through the field. Trimble: Anything else growers will like? Jarvis: The as-applied coverage mapping. Some of this country is very pot-holey, slewy land. They'll be able to easily look at the map and say, " Did I miss a spot? Did I do that corner?" Also, I think they'll like the elevation side of it. As they're going across the field, they can save the elevations to make contour maps. Trimble: Any surprises? Jarvis: The USB-I was happy when I saw that. That just makes sense and it's easy. Whether you're uploading or downloading from your computer you can just have that information on a memory stick for easy transfer for map or report creating. PRODUCT LIST
