Understanding How Flags Work

Setup
There is one aspect of flags that needs to be understood:
distance offset. Refer to the drawing for the following
explanation.
The horizontal dark lines running parallel through the center
represent the outer edge of a weed bed; the space between
these lines is what the operator needs to flag while harvesting.
The combine starts in the lower left corner. When the header
reaches the edge of these weeds, the operator turns the flag
on in the GreenStar Display. When the header reaches the other edge of the weed bed,
the operator turns off the flag; he thinks he has flagged the actual weed bed. In reality, he
has not.
When he first turned on the flag where the header met the weeds, the position receiver on
the cab, as illustrated by the large black dot, was approximately 12-14 feet (depending on
header type) behind the weed bed. It is the receiver that tracks the location, so when the
flag was turned on, the position receiver records the location of where the position receiver
is - not the location of the combine header.
When the operator turns off the flag, the position receiver again records its location, which
is approximately 12-14 feet behind the header, and the outer edge of the weed bed. As the
operator continues to make passes through the field he continues to flag the weed bed the
same way.
Because of the distance offset, the flagged area will not appear uniform on your summary
maps - it will instead look jagged. In both illustrations, the flagged area as recorded by the
position receiver is shown by the light gray boxes.
