This document describes the Trimble EZ-Pilot Pro autosteering system. Distributed by Vantage Ibérica Occidental, the system achieves high accuracy in both static and dynamic conditions.
This document is a Spanish-language field test (prueba de campo) of the Trimble EZ-Pilot Pro autosteering system, published in the magazine Vida Rural. The test was carried out on April 3 with technical staff from Vantage Iberia Occidental, part of Trimble's official distributor network, together with the dealer Comercial JL Nombela in Gerindote (Toledo). Accuracy was verified with DGPS EGNOS signal and RTK with a base station 5 km away, and headlands were programmed in fully automatic mode to compare performance against manual driving.
The evaluated setup combines the EZ-Pilot Pro compact electric motor, which turns the steering wheel from the steering column while still allowing unrestricted manual driving, the NAV-900 guidance controller mounted on the cab roof, and the GFX-750 10.1-inch Isobus touchscreen with an Android-based operating system. The article notes that guidance stays active when the machine stops and remains active in reverse for 15 seconds, and it includes specification tables for the GFX-750 display, the NAV-900 controller and its GNSS receiver. This manual is written in Spanish.

Yes. The 10.1-inch touchscreen is Isobus compatible, so a single screen can control multiple machines and implements regardless of their manufacturer.
Yes, the system stays active when the machine is stopped and keeps guidance active in reverse for 15 seconds so the next pass can be aligned.
It is a multi-constellation GNSS receiver supporting GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou.
