About

Tractor Paddock Navigator

Features
Read full description

TractorNav turns your iPhone into a precision GPS guidance system โ€” so you cover every metre of your paddock without missing a strip or doubling back. Working a large paddock without guidance means wasted inputs, costly overlap, and time lost correcting your lines. TractorNav gives you real-time parallel line guidance and live coverage shading so you always know exactly what's done and what's left โ€” right on your screen. STRAIGHT-LINE AND CONTOUR GUIDANCE Set an A-B line at the start of your first pass and TractorNav automatically offsets parallel guidance lines across the paddock, spaced to your exact implement width. For uneven terrain, contour guidance keeps you running on the slope. Guidance that adapts to the way your land actually sits. LIVE COVERAGE TRACKING Watch your coverage build in real time as you work. Completed passes shade to your implement width on the map, giving you a clear visual of what's been done and where you still need to go. No missed strips, no unnecessary overlap. PADDOCK BOUNDARY MAPPING Tap paddock corners on a satellite map to define your boundaries, or walk them in the field. Store unlimited paddocks on your device โ€” all saved offline, so you're never depending on a signal when you're out working. OBSTACLE MARKING Drop markers on the map as you drive โ€” rocks, holes, waterlogged patches, anything worth flagging for the next pass or the next operator. Obstacle pins save with the job record so nothing gets forgotten. JOB HISTORY AND RECORDS Every job is logged with a mini map, total coverage in hectares or acres, job duration, and average speed. Review past jobs, track productivity across the season, and share records with landowners or contracting clients. TractorNav supports both metric and imperial units, works fully offline, and is built to be read at a glance from a moving cab โ€” not squinted at on a desk. Setup takes minutes: enter your implement width, drop your A-B line, and you're working. If you're a farmer or agricultural contractor who needs accurate field coverage without the cost of a dedicated guidance console, TractorNav is built for the job. Download it today and start your first paddock.
