EZ-Guide® 500 Guidance System

Looking to meet the demands of today’s precision ag users, Trimble has introduced the EZ-Guide 500 guidance system. The Trimble EZ-Guide 500 features a large, easy-to-read 7-inch color display and a built-in lightbar with 31 guidance LED’s that are highly visible even in bright light. The display provides users an “overhead” or “perspective” view of the operation while the map view provides a real-time, color coverage map. The unit supports multiple guidance patterns and also records data from field operations that can be transferred to a PC via a USB flash drive.

The EZ-Guide 500 is Easy to Read

• Easy-to-see, large color display.
• On-screen mapping with perspective and plan-view maps with zoom capabilities to always see where you are and what you are doing.
• View coverage maps in real time.
• Superior brightness/contrast makes it easy to view in direct sunlight.

Guidance Even Without Differential

OnPath™ advanced filtering technology is standard with the EZ-Guide 500 giving high quality pass-to-pass accuracy when operating in areas where obstructions such as trees or buildings are blocking satellite signals.

GPS Options

The EZ-Guide 500 is available with two different GPS options. Depending on their accuracy needs, users can choose between an EZ-Guide 500 capable of using the free WAAS signal, which provides 6-8 inch pass-to-pass accuracy or an EZ-Guide 500 capable of using the OmniStar HP/XP subscription service for 2-4 inch or 3-5 inch pass-to-pass accuracy.
