In practice, this means that - if GPS is enabled - the game will provide visual indicators of its suggested pathing while you’re seeding, fertilizing, harvesting, and more. Here, we’ll tell you how to use GPS in Farming Simulator 25, detailing each aspect of this incredibly handy mechanic.

All Steering Assist Options In Farming Simulator 25, Explained
Now that you’re on the Steering Assist tab, you will seefive options. These form the core components of Farming Simulator 25’s GPS framework.
The last one is the crux of it all.Show lines,when activated,displays three-dimensional lines of varying colors. Think of these like the lines you might see when piloting a plane (except, well, far less dangerous).
In the plane’s case, the lines are telling the captain and co-pilot to stay within a designated angle. When the system is enabled for tractors and other farm machines,the lines digitally analyze the field you’re working in, making recommendations on your work path.
By following these recommendations,you will generally drive more efficiently. This helps to prevent you from dealing withstray tufts of crop that were skipped over while you were driving.
The Main Line Colors: White And Blue
Thewhite linesdemonstrate thevarious recommended rows- let’s say awheat field of a certain length is shown with five rows. The GPS is telling you thatdriving your vehicle over the field five times, just so, is efficient.
Theblue linesare the GPS’recommended path for your present course; kind of a “blue lines within the white lines”, yourcurrent travel path.The blue lines willautomatically adjust if your own angle is off,either intentionally or otherwise.
As for theorange line, it shows upat the center of the blue line. This is the projectedcenter pointfor your vehicle while you’re following the recommended path; it’s a secondary tool, within the blue lines, to further represent the course.
