Another great tutorial Harv. I love how you explain things simply and well so beginners can understand and old timers can brush up. Wish I could call you on the phone every time I was trying to figure something out.
Thanks, Tim. In a manner of speaking, you can. You’re always welcome to join us in Discord. If I’m not there, there’s usually someone around willing to help out.
I've been using it since it came out but still picked up a couple of things I didn't know, very well explained. I do miss the Compass display from FS17 though
@@HarvsWorld Have you ever considered doing an advanced tutorial? This one was good in covering the basics, but there are additional functions, such as the headlands, that could be addressed.
@@mikesiver1950 It's on my list of things to do, for sure. I just have to find the time. Personal requests and recommendations get bumped up that list though. I'd expect to see something within the next couple of weeks. Thanks!
I LOVE GPS!!!! I'mma perfectionist and like plowing, cultivating, and such on straight lines that do not waver. I like seeing no overlap of edges. This is the perfect help mate for me. Don't get me wrong npc's are wonderful but I've noticed they overlap their rows and I never knew why. But this? Oh so perfect. And you've the best video on this than anyone else. I like Farmer Cop but you take your time when explaining things. Btw, how do you turn off the lines when done with a field? Don't think you explained that. I have to tab to another machine. Oh, just found it. In menu turn off lines. hehehehe
Hi Mate x this tutorial is awesome you speak so clear ( apart from getting some words wrong lo ) but to be honest you have made this GPS setting up so damn easy " Outstanding " xx
Nicely done Sir. GPS isnt really a mod ive used in the past as I tend to default to Courseplay as my field mod of choice. I may give it a try though as I can see there are situations where it could be handy as a visual aid when im manually working on fields.
Exactly. It's very situational. Not necessary all of the time, but it's nice to have when you need it. I'm slowly but surely learning Courseplay, but still have a long way to go.
Thanks for taking the time to prep and present this tutorial indeed very helpful... In FS 17 had a autoturn feature at the end of the field to start a new line... it appears this is not available yet in FS 19... nonetheless extremely helpful to use GPS...
@@HarvsWorld yep it helps especially you mentioning those keyboard shortcuts what and how to use them it makes a difference compared to other creators trying to do similar guides... Keep up the good work and we'll keep watching... thank you...
Here is another more advanced tip. Headland mode. When you near the edge of the field the tractor will warn you with a beep according to the length of the headland you set. I like to make 3 headlands around the field I'm working with and set the headland length 3x the width of my implement. You can have the tractor automatically stop once you reach the headland length or continue forward with a warning beep. If i am cultivating I do not raise the cultivator. If I need to turn right to the next lane over to go back down the field. I first turn the wheel left a bit before turning right to the next lane and activate the guidance steering as I enter the lane. It is fast and easy this way.
Great tutorial 👍 Just a personal preference, I use Course Play because you can set it to plow/seed etc hire a worker and leave them to it while I do something else.
Thanks! I use Courseplay also, and I’ll throw Follow Me in there too. I see Courseplsy as an enhanced worker mod, where GPS is an aid when doing my own work.
added this mod to the farm I made using your beginner tutorial on ravenport for some reason no matter which heading i set it still always points south but the set A B setting works great thanks again..... no more wonky harvesting for me hah and i like how you have to pay to have it fitted too. And as always a great video. going to be trying the seasons on here too if it will work now
@@HarvsWorld I just ran into the same issue, might be worth covering the option a little deeper (rehash of this video or an advanced Guidance Steering tutorial ;) )
Very simple and complete video Harv!. One question. If we sell a machine that has the $15k GPS in it do we get that money back or is that essentially a throw away?
This is nice but the Vehicle Control Add-On does the same thing with just one press of a button. If you have a have a diagonal edge like that you just point your tractor in the direction you want and it does everything for you!
Hey Harv, I've installed Guidance Steering and Courseplay but cannot initialize either of them. There is no option to purchase GPS in the customization screen for my Case? Hud key does nothing. I'm a bit flummoxed?
just out of curiosity how hard would it be to add a hot key to toggle the option "Show Lines on/off) so that you dont have to open the menu to do so every time?
Great question. I checked, and there is no keybinding for the option, unfortunately. Without a keybinding, it would probably take a mod edit that I'm not familiar with. You might be able to do it with a Macro, though.
@@HarvsWorld If you haven't abandoned FS19 for FS22 yet I reached out to Wopster about this and they released an updated version which includes a hot key for this now
I really would like too have this mod, but one thing is I am not able too turn GPS on any tractor's I have purchased..any reason for this? Forgot to mention I am using FS 19
Good question. You can use it with a loading wagon if you manually set the width of the wagon to be the distance between windrows. For example, if you harvest a field with a 9 meter header, leaving straw windrows... you’d set the width of your loading wagon the same as your header... 9 meters.
lol - well, to some degree that's true. Until you have a tight field with no room for the helper to work. The AI in-game often can't seem to sort out even the simplest of problems. :)
HAHAH My helpers are about worthless. I used your tutorial on Ravenport and I had it working field 8 and it ended up 3 fields over before something stopped it. Like dude come on with that.
This is the best tutorial I've seen on Global Positioning Systems for FS 19. Thank you!
Thank you, Kyle! Welcome to Harv's World!
Again I look at other tutorials and still kind of scratching my head, but yours are always easy to understand! Thanks!
Thanks!
Straight and to the point, no waffle and straight forward. Excellent !
Thanks!
Never used GPS before but after watching this I will start! Great job and Thanks!!
Thank you! It's very handy, and so simple to use. Glad I've helped you out, a bit.

@@HarvsWorld Thanks for the invite am now part of your discord channel
@@alaskansourdough7602 outstanding!
Good tutorial, will always use this from now on, also i JUST LOVE the way a john deere tractor gives the little bleep as you turn on guidance
I've been using it since it came out but still picked up a couple of things I didn't know, very well explained. I do miss the Compass display from FS17 though
Glad you were able to pick up a few things. I never played FS17, so can't compare. Thanks!
Great tutorial! Thank you for putting it together and sharing it with the FS19 community.
I've been using the GPS mod since it first came out, and I still learned something new via this vid. Thanks!
Excellent. Glad it helped you out.

Yes, GPS is fantastic. I use it all the time. Maybe one day I’ll be as good as he is. Thanks!
Really good tutorial, kept it dead straight forward (no pun intended) hopefully it will be helpful to anyone who doesn't use it right now 🤘
Thanks! It seems to be helping a few people get it straight (pun intended), and I hope it continues to. 😁
Thanks harv. Just gave gps a try and mastered it with the help of your tutorial! Keep up the great work!
Excellent! Glad you found it helpful. Thanks, bud!
Searched a while for a good tutorial. Thanks so much. Just getting into the game and built a pc
I'm happy to hear it worked for you. I hope you enjoy the game as much as I do. If you ever need help, just let me know.
Definitely the best explanation I’ve heard. Thanks
Thank you for watching.
Thankx Harv, so glad I found your channel. Keep up the good work!
Will do. Thank you!

On the first tab in the GPS menu make sure that you turn off "Snap to Grid." I suspect that's the issue you're running into. Thanks, again.
@@HarvsWorld you were right thanks :)
@@uk_dave4175 Glad you got it sorted. We don't want any wonky harvesting. :)
@@HarvsWorld I just ran into the same issue, might be worth covering the option a little deeper (rehash of this video or an advanced Guidance Steering tutorial ;) )
Absolutely one of my favorite mods, but I do prefer the FS17 GUI for it though.
Mine too. And you're not the only one that likes the FS17 better. I've heard that from others, too.
Very simple and complete video Harv!. One question. If we sell a machine that has the $15k GPS in it do we get that money back or is that essentially a throw away?
That sir, is an excellent question! I never considered it before. I honestly don’t know. Would be pretty easy to test, though.
Thank you! this is the best one I've watched and it helped me out a lot
Happy to hear that! Glad I could help.
Thnx Harv, best help ever !!
My pleasure. Thank you!

Nice. I’ll have to check that out.
@@HarvsWorld You can add different transmissions to your tractors, change speed, and a bunch of other things I really like it!
@@KoolKatRex Sounds pretty nice. Is that ModHub, or on a 3rd party site?
Hey Harv, I've installed Guidance Steering and Courseplay but cannot initialize either of them. There is no option to purchase GPS in the customization screen for my Case? Hud key does nothing. I'm a bit flummoxed?
The only thing I can think of, is the most basic question - did you make sure to check the tick box in your mod list before you started the map?
@@HarvsWorld Thanks, that was it lol. I'll get the hang of it one day hopefully :)
@@Arbitrator207 No worries. I STILL make that mistake myself. Usually when I get in a hurry. :)
Great video and very informative. Can you use GPS while trying to create a new field somewhere?
Of course. Especially if you want it to be perfectly aligned.
@@HarvsWorld Cool. Does it work the same way?
Exactly the same way. Decide what direction you want to start your field in, and use either cardinal direction or the A+B method to set your path.
@@HarvsWorld Cool thanks
Any time!
Awesome. You made it easy
Thanks! Glad it helped.
Great I can now drink coffee and farm, thanks I was wondering how the GPS worked
Why do you think I started using it? I love my coffee!
Very very helpful thank tou
You’re welcome.

Yay I can plant without the ridge markers thx man :D
Outstanding! Glad it helped you out.
the best ,thank you
You're very welcome. Thanks!
I really would like too have this mod, but one thing is I am not able too turn GPS on any tractor's I have purchased..any reason for this? Forgot to mention I am using FS 19
Did you purchase the GPS option in the shop when you bought the tractor?
@@HarvsWorld LOL...nope but now I have it...oops!
6:41 got me so good I actually thought I got a discord message XD
Edit: 9:57 didn't manage to get me a second time though...
A prime example of my learning curve over the last year. You won't hear those Discord notifications any more. LOL
great tutorial, lol why cant things like this come with the game... this game is literally kept alive by the modding community!
Thank you! I honestly wonder the same thing, and couldn't agree more. Love the name, btw. Been a long time since I drove a Mech. :)
@@HarvsWorld haha mwo is still alive if barely, and I definitely will watch more of your videos!
This helped so much!
Happy to hear it helped you out. Thanks!
Good video!
Thank you!

I miss the old GPS mod with auto turn :((
I’ve heard about that. Guess I’m a bit lucky that I never had a chance to use that version.
I like to use headland mode
I do too. This is just a beginner tutorial to get people started.
@@HarvsWorld
Is there an auto turn # of lane feature like there was in 17? I forget the key for that
@@ravenwda007 I keep hearing about this from 17, but never played that version. Regardless, there is no auto turn, unfortunately.
xbox getting available?
Unfortunately not. Sorry.
Has anyone tried using this with a loading wagon?
Good question. You can use it with a loading wagon if you manually set the width of the wagon to be the distance between windrows. For example, if you harvest a field with a 9 meter header, leaving straw windrows... you’d set the width of your loading wagon the same as your header... 9 meters.
Ps4 ?
Sorry, PC only.
Easier one is use H for helper ..no need gps..haha
lol - well, to some degree that's true. Until you have a tight field with no room for the helper to work. The AI in-game often can't seem to sort out even the simplest of problems. :)
@@HarvsWorld yup.. totally agree on that..👍
HAHAH My helpers are about worthless. I used your tutorial on Ravenport and I had it working field 8 and it ended up 3 fields over before something stopped it. Like dude come on with that.
Welcome to the wonderful world of FS19 helpers. LOL
@@HarvsWorld yeah they suck bit you gotta use them so you can multitask lol
Thanks very helpful
You're welcome. Thank you for saying so.
