13.4. Using guidelock guidance mode
Guidelock is a coverage based guidance mode. It generates a curve
based on existing coverage, regardless of when that coverage was laid.
This is convenient if wanting to steer around a contour or field
boundary but you don’t want to create and save a curve, or if you
want to continue steering alongside some coverage that was treated
earlier that you did not save a curve for. This guideline method is
sometimes referred to as ‘free form’.
