Abstract
A method of maneuvering a work machine is disclosed comprising receiving a signal indicative of an actual position of a work machine, and determining a route to maneuver the work machine from the actual position to a target position. When a distance between the actual location and the target location is greater than a straight-distance threshold, the route comprises a curved portion between the actual position and a straight-distance threshold point and a straight portion between the straight-distance threshold point and the target position. When the distance between the actual location and the target location is less than the straight-distance threshold, the route comprises the straight portion. The method further includes displaying a determined path and an indicator.
