GPS User Testimonials

The Guia GPS Precision Navigation system coupled with the AG-FLOW Automatic Flow Control system has made our operations and our lives easier. It is unthinkable to revert to our old methods.

Here are our conclusions on the benefits of your GPS Precision Navigation System.

1. More Accurate Mapping – the GPS Navigation system is more reliable than human markers, which can cause great errors as the field size gets bigger.

2. Real Time Navigation – the Moving Map Display allows the pilot to make adjustments on the fly such as: determining where the best place to begin and finish the application, the ability to view and plot obstacles that will interrupt the application, as well as many other features.

3. Reduces & Creates More Efficient Workforce – we are able to reduce the amount of workers contracted to work the field, and the remaining workers are able to work on other tasks instead.

4. Ability to Work Multiple Areas Simultaneously – the pilot is able to work multiple areas using the same product without having to rely on human markers.

5. More Efficient Operation – We estimate that our operations have increased in efficiency by at least 30%. This is due to the increased accuracy of the GPS Navigation system, the reduction and efficiency of the workforce. The GPS Navigation system has given us the ability to reduce overlaps, causing us to increase our yield, as well as decrease our input costs.

6. Gives Pilot Better Orientation – for pilots who are not familiar with the area, the GPS Navigation system allows them work in any area with ease

7. Flow Control – using the flow controller in conjunction with the GPS Navigation system is a great advantage because it automatically adjust the flow rate according to the speed of the aircraft. This is very beneficial because it has decreased the difficulty we have had when spraying herbicides using old methods. You can also print out detailed reports and analyze specific details using AG-NAV’s reporting software.

8. Ability to Start & Stop Jobs Seamlessly – not every flight goes as smoothly as planned. Sometimes due to unfavourable atmospheric conditions or other issues such as not having enough product forces you to stop your application. Usually this would create a lot of problems, however using the GPS Navigation system; we are able to get right back to where we were without a problem. We can save the job to the Guia’s hard drive or to a USB drive, and we can come back to it when we are ready to fly again.

9. NavViewW or SprayView – With these tools, we are able to have accurate data from previous jobs at our fingertips. We can plan future jobs, review past jobs, and analyze the data to study the effectiveness of each job. We can also print out these reports with detailed maps.

In conclusion, we have found that the Guia GPS Precision Navigation system and the AG-FLOW Automatic Flow Control systems are very reliable, accurate, and durable. It has helped us increase efficiency and reduce input costs. Overall, we are very satisfied with the purchase of our AG-NAV Products.
