You never quit trying to improve your operation. And we never quit improving our precision displays. That's why, throughout the year, we'll release software improvements for your John Deere display. These notes will be cataloged here. Bookmark this page and you'll always have quick access to the latest release.

UpdatePlanting/SeedingApplicationHarvestOther
  • AutoPath™ (Boundaries) is now integrated with Work Planner. Get started more quickly, easily, and with greater confidence the moment you enter the field.
  • AutoPath™ (Boundaries) now supports multiple guidance plans per field within the display. In the off season, create and save guidance plans for a single field for the entire crop season, load them all to the display, simply choose a plan from the list when you hit the field, and get right to work.
  • AutoPath™ (Rows) users can now shift their guidance tracks up to 100" for greater flexibility in track placement.
  • AutoPath™ (Rows) users can now confidently record their source operation data with the new shortcut module, which indicates real-time data recording.
  • AutoPath (Rows) now supports multiple source operations per field. If planting takes more than 10-days, or if there are multiple crops planted in the same field, all AutoPath data can now be accessed and used to guide you through your next passes without sending a new setup file.
  • AutoTrac™ Turn Automation for tractors offers a simpler setup. Choose to automate any or all of the following optional functions to complete consistent turns at the end of each pass:
    • Plan and execute the turn — default
    • Control the machine's speed — optional
    • Control the implement functions — optional
  • AutoTrac™ Turn Automation is now compatible with Tow-Between Air Carts. Reduce operator stress and fatigue and make the perfect pass every time.
  • AutoTrac™ Implement Guidance is now compatible with Tow-Between Air Carts. Your implement will be exactly where you want it to be, regardless of the terrain you're working on.
 
  • Machine Sync hosts enhancements to the operational zone that allows auto leader picking for staggered formations for a seamless harvest experience.
  • A new boundary creation method enables the ability to establish boundaries usable for autonomy solutions and verified through achieving additional system guidelines while driving the boundary.
  • A new flag category — Field Entrance — is now available and able to be created on the display or in Operations Center. This enables more accurate driving directions to specific field locations and clearer communication to tender and support vehicles.
  • NEW AutoPath™ (boundaries) path planning tool is now available with G5 Advanced and Automation 4.0. All you need is a driven, Advanced boundary, and you can create an optimal full field guidance plan for each of your fields across every crop production step from the comfort of your own home (or office).
  • AutoPath™ (rows) users can now shift their guidance lines up to 30".
  • AutoTrac™ Turn Automation gets better over time with interface updates that simplify the user experience when tuning, planning, and executing automated turns (Tractors + Combines).
  • AutoPath™ source operation data collection options have been expanded. Use any of the 4 supported AutoPath operations (while meeting the previous requirements — the AutoPath recording indicator is 'ready to record.') to fuel your guidance line plans throughout the crop year. This allows customers the flexibility to document a strip till pass and use that data for a pre-plant spraying operation, for example. In simpler terms, the planting source operation requirement has been lifted.
  • HID files now include cotton module count for the season located under "season total."
  • AutoPath™ (rows) is now compatible with MY25 and newer Gators.
  • NEW Idle Reasons is now available to Gen 4 and G5 display users. With Idle Reasons, effortlessly understand why your equipment is idle. This information reveals hidden inefficiencies that can drive continuous improvement towards operational excellence, whether it is in-field efficiency or machine productivity.
  • In Field Data Sharing now includes pop ups to ensure new groups and new work are utilized as intended.
  • The implement receiver measurements entered in the implement profile will now prepopulate into the ISOBUS VT screen.
  • AutoTrac™ Turn Automation with new speed decouple feature, allows an easier entry to product usage for new ATTA customers.
  • AutoTrac™ Implement Guidance refactor will improve product performance, especially around curves.
  • AutoPath™ source operation data collection options have been expanded. Use any of the 4 supported AutoPath operations (while meeting the previous requirements – the AutoPath recording indicator is 'ready to record.') to fuel your guidance line plans throughout the crop year. This allows customers the flexibility to document a strip till pass and use that data for a pre-plant spraying operation, for example. In simpler terms, the planting source operation requirement has been lifted.
  • Be ready for go time! Easily create, edit, view, and manage your headlands directly within Operations Center. There is no need to recreate them in the display every time you go to the field. Use the new Headland function in Land to get more from your equipment's automation and advanced guidance features. Then preview headlands in the map view in Land so you are confident they are set correctly for the right fields, operations, and machines.
  • Dry Blends is now in Products in Operations Center. Get accurate calculations each product in the blend, as well as accurate documentation of your applications. To apply dry blends in the field, at least 23-2 software is needed on your John Deere Gen 4/G5 displays. Dry Blends is currently for dry chemicals and fertilizers, as well as John Deere sprayers and floaters with dry boxes and John Deere rate controllers.
  • Work Planner now supports Dry Blends. When you are creating work plans and you are missing a dry blend for a field, you can now create the dry blend directly in Work Planner. You can open the dry blend creator while in Work Planner. Then you can send the work plan wirelessly to your John Deere sprayer or floater with dry box and John Deere rate controller, as well as a Gen 4/G5 display with at least 23-2 software.
  • When combined with the core precision ag components - a Gen 4 or G5 display, a StarFire™ receiver, JDLink and Operations Center, Manure Sensing will now give a producer the ability to view constituent layers in the cab, in Field Analyzer, or the Analyze tab of Operations Center; unlocking a deeper understanding of field performance.
  • AutoTrac™ Turn Automation is now available on the combine platform.
  • Variety Locator Files are now available via Data Sync, saving customers time with less setup and button presses.
  • Machine Sync machine control redesign, includes model navigation and speed changes that enhance the user experience and ride quality, specifically from the cab of the follower machine.
  • Bale Documentation with John Deere Operations Center is now available on the new 1 series round balers! Field analyzer baling data is available via a compatible Gen4/G5 display and StarFire receiver sent wirelessly with a JDLink modem.
  • Streamlined setup for grain cart operators with the addition of a Grain Cart as an implement option in equipment setup. Improvements to the map experience, with updated icons for the tractor and grain cart, and grain tank level and auger status sharing to the grain cart no longer requires a Machine Sync license.
  • Average display software installation time has been greatly reduced. Software updates will now load in approximately 50% less time for G5 and 30% less time for Gen 4. This enhancement creates a better installation experience for dealers and customers, thus unlocking new and improved features included in bundle releases in a more timely manner.
