Abstract

A system for determining the relative position of first and second farm vehicles, each equipped with a satellite-supported position sensing device. A data transmission link transmits position data between the vehicles, and a computer on one of the vehicles determines data with respect to the relative position of the vehicles. A control device responsive to satellite signal quality assures that the two position sensing devices operate in the same reception modes for improved accuracy.
