2 New Features and Resolved Items on Machine Geospatial PDF Support Geospatial PDFs can now be opened directly in TimberNavi. When the PDF is opened, it is converted into a GeoTIFF (.tif) image file and saved to the PDF Storage Site in the Local directory. After conversion the image file acts as an image basemap layer - see Basemap Image File Support section for functionality description. PDF files can be transferred via a USB flash drive or MyJohnDeere. Upload PDF files directly through the MyJohnDeere web interface: Camera View Up to four analog cameras can be connected to the TimberNavi display. At startup, TimberNavi detects the number of connected cameras and displays a Camera icon in the lower-right corner of the screen. Click the Camera icon to switch to Camera View. In Camera View mode, the video channels numbers are displayed on the right side. If the video feed needs to be mirrored, press the Mirror icon in the lower-left corner of the screen. To switch back to Map View, press the map icon in the lower-right corner. For more information about TimberNavi s Camera Support see documentation on the TimberNavi support website: 2

3 Basemap Image File Support TimberNavi supports viewing images as basemaps in the map. GeoTIFF (.tif) and MrSID (.sid) file types are supported. Only 1 basemap image can be visible at any time, but the Site may contain multiple image basemaps to switch between. When imagery files are available in the Site Basemap folder, a Basemap Layer will be added to the map and is accessible through the Layers list. To switch between images, tap the Edit icon next to the layer name. The Select Basemap Image window will open. The Location Search button narrows the list of files whose extent encompasses the current GPS location. Multiple images can be stored in the Site folder. Each image file must be stored within its own folder inside the Basemaps folder. The Image Refresh feature in TimberNavi allows a user to easily switch Raster images based on current machine GPS location. Press the Refresh icon next to the basemap name in the Layers list to load the image basemap that correlates to the current GPS location. The Image Refresh feature works with GeoTIFF without needing a Reference shapefile. In order for Image Refresh to work with.sid files, a Reference Shapefile must be saved within the Site s Basemaps folder. TimberNavi reads the Shapefile and, based on the boundaries defined within the Shapefile, TimberNavi selects the proper image basemap to load. The reference Shapefile must be projected in WGS 1984 coordinate system. RASTERNAME field must be present in the Shapefile and this field should refer to the Folder Name in which the associated image file is stored. The Shapefile does not appear in the map. To the right are two example of a folder structures: one with GeoTIFF (.tif) files and one with MrSID (.sid) image files with a Reference Shapefile. The Shapefile does not have to have a specific name. 3

4 Active Tracking Layer Color Selection Press the Edit button next to Active Track in the Layers list to change the color of the line. 4G MTG Machine Configuration When TimberNavi is configured to the 4G Machine Configuration, the raw GPS from the 4G JDLink controller is displayed on the map without any machine movement logic filtering. Machine tracking will automatically start when GPS-based vehicle speed exceeds 1 km/hr. It is not recommended to run this Machine Configuration with the 3G JDLink controller. Use the machine-specific configuration if your machine is listed. For example, M-series Tracked Feller Bunchers has a unique configuration option, do not use 4G MTG configuration. Display warning when Map Package has incompatible layers Warning message appears if one or more layers in the Map Package are not projected in WGS 1984 coordinate system. Fix for Machines List Select All checkbox Select All checkmark box is activated when the max number of machines are selected. New Features and Resolved Items in the Office Fix for duplicate uploads through Map Designer Fixed the issue where duplicate files are created in Map Designer when uploading files to MyJohnDeere. 4
