🚀 Introducing Route Creation and Operator-Guided Routes

We’re excited to announce the launch of Route Creation and Operator-Guided Routes — a powerful new way to create, review, and share field operation routes with your team.

Developed with input from early access users, these features give you greater control over route creation and provide operators with clear, actionable guidance in the field.

🗺️ Create Routes with a Clean, Focused Experience

The new Route Creation workspace helps you design field operation routes in a simple, intuitive environment.

When you create a route, you’ll see only the essential information you need:

  • The route trace is displayed by default

  • Optional layers like start/end markers, directional arrows, and field start indicators remain hidden until you choose to display them

  • The clean layout allows you to focus on creating routes, while keeping advanced tools easily accessible

Whether you’re creating routes for yourself or for operators in the field, this experience makes route design straightforward and efficient.

🕒 Clear, Unified Route Summaries — Time & Distance Insights

We’ve introduced a consistent system for summarizing route details, giving you reliable insights on every route you create.

  • Total time, working time, non-working time, and distance are calculated using a unified method

  • Summaries help you evaluate routes before sharing them with operators

  • Supports smarter planning and better operational decision-making

🎞️ Familiar, Intuitive Route Playback

Reviewing your created routes is simple and familiar, with a playback experience modeled after popular mobile and fitness apps.

  • Start playback with a single play button

  • Use the playback slider for full control after the animation starts

  • Hide the slider anytime for a clean view of the route

This makes it easy to visualize and refine your routes before they’re shared with operators.

👍 Quick Feedback on Created Routes

We’ve added a straightforward thumbs up / thumbs down feature so you can easily share your feedback on the routes you create.

  • The feedback option appears after you interact with a route

  • It refreshes with each change you make, allowing continuous input as you refine your route

  • Your feedback helps guide ongoing improvements to route creation and execution

📱 Operator-Guided Routes — Share Routes for Use in the Field

With Operator-Guided Routes, you can now share the routes you create directly to a mobile device — giving operators clear, real-time guidance during field operations.

  • The operator’s current location is displayed alongside the shared route

  • Routes are presented in an easy-to-follow format, providing clear guidance in the cab or on the go

  • Designed to support confident execution of planned routes in real-world conditions

This feature bridges the gap between route creation and field execution, making it easier to align team operations.

🎯 Build, Share, and Guide with Confidence

Route Creation and Operator-Guided Routes are now available to all users — providing an end-to-end workflow for creating, reviewing, and guiding field operations with clarity and control.

Whether you’re designing routes in the office or guiding equipment in the field, these tools work together to streamline your operation and enhance team coordination.

🗺️ New: Search by Location on Maps

Finding your fields just got easier. You can now search for a location directly within any map in Launch Pad — whether by entering a place name or precise GPS coordinates.

With this new search feature, you can:

  • Search by town, city, or region name (e.g., “Red Deer, Alberta, Canada” or “Kern County, California”)

  • Enter latitude and longitude coordinates for pinpoint accuracy (e.g., 43.499062, -95.078740)

  • Instantly zoom to your selected location on the map

This enhancement is perfect for users unfamiliar with local geography — helping you quickly navigate from a known location to your farm or fields, whether you’re working at the regional, national, or global scale.

No matter where you are in Launch Pad, this feature makes it faster and easier to find exactly what you need on the map.


🗺️ Exports

New Export Option: FendtONE ISOXML Support

We’re pleased to introduce a dedicated FendtONE ISOXML export option, making it easier for users to generate field operation data compatible with FendtONE monitors. While ISOXML files often look similar across systems, FendtONE requires specific formatting adjustments to ensure seamless operation. With this new export option, you can now create files tailored for FendtONE, with key differences applied automatically, including:

  • Reduced decimal precision for coordinates and data values (up to 9 decimal places)

  • ISOXML version set to 4.3.0, as required by FendtONE

This export type is now available alongside other monitor-specific export options in the Verge platform. We’ve worked directly with AGCO’s support team to validate this format — giving you confidence that your exported files will work reliably on FendtONE monitors.


Improved ISOXML Export for Raven Monitors - Smarter Boundary Handling. 


With this update, if you choose to export only an inner boundary (such as an exclusion zone) without selecting an exterior boundary, the system will now treat the inner boundary as the exterior boundary in the exported file.


This ensures the ISOXML export meets Raven’s format requirements allowing your

data to load correctly on Raven monitors, even when an exterior boundary isn’t explicitly selected.


This enhancement simplifies the export process and ensures better compatibility with Raven systems.

🚀 New in Launch Pad: Edit Saved Path Plans


Managing multiple path plan versions just got easier. Based on feedback from users around the world, we have introduced the ability to edit previously saved path plans, a major productivity boost for reseller and advisors who iterate often to fine-tune their plans.


With autosave creating more saved plans than ever, users needed a faster way to return to the ones that matter. Now, you can open any saved plan and pick up right where you left off—no need to start from scratch.


What’s New:

  • Edit Path Plan – Launch a fresh editing session from any saved plan. The system recreates your previous results using reference lines—AB lines for straight tracks and seed curves for curved ones—ensuring you see exactly what you saved.

  • Mark as Favourite – Flag important plans and filter them to the top of your list for faster access.

Behind the scenes, edit mode uses your saved reference lines to feed our guidance algorithm. This means you’ll always return to your original plan even as our path planning tech continues to improve.

Partial Reference Line Selection with Smart Anchors

We’ve enhanced the contour path planning experience by giving you more control over the reference line. We introduced the ability to select a specific portion of a reference line helping you generate more accurate and desirable curves.

This new feature uses the same anchor-based interaction as boundary selection for curved tracks, making it intuitive and familiar.

What’s New:

  • Partial Reference Line Selection – Choose only the segment you want to use for contour generation.

  • Anchor-Based Interface – Drag anchors directly on the reference line to fine-tune your selection.

  • Improved Curve Accuracy – Generate paths that better match your operational needs and terrain.

Star Path Plans for Easy Access

Users can now star important path plans to mark them for quick reference. Starring is a collaborative feature, meaning all organization members can see and update starred plans.

  • Quick Access: Starred plans can be easily filtered on the plans page.
  • Flexible Workflow: Starred plans are read-only when shared, ensuring clarity while collaborating.


Improved Filtering on the Plans Page

We've redesigned the filters panel for a better experience, especially on smaller screens. Filters are now on the left panel and can be collapsed to provide more space for viewing path plans.

Additional Enhancements

  • Equipment Names Now Visible on path plan views.
  • Extended Tracks Available when using "Plan From" to create a new plan.
  • Exports Now Include Interior Obstacle Headlands, improving compatibility with external systems.

  • New users
  • Users signing in via John Deere, CNH, or Trimble integrations


Clearer Planning Credits Display

We’ve improved the visibility of your planning credits by adding an indicator under the Verge logo and a "Buy" label on the shopping cart icon.
