I can't be the only player that finds when fertilising or weed spraying certain crops in game it can be incredibly hard to see where you have been on a field, with the crops growth stages and textures sometimes obscuring the soil? Therefore without GPS, you are constantly forced to keep going in and out of the main menu, to make sure you working the field properly and not missing parts of the field, which I find is much more distracting and immersion breaking for me. If they partially included that function in one of their own mods why not develop it further and make it a staple of the base game? Therefore I find it hard to believe they couldn't extend the functionality to the other tasks like ploughing, cultivating, sowing, weeding and spraying and include it in their base game. However that was not quite right as we've seen with the Precision Farming Mod for FS19 that Giants can do dynamic mini-map and have included that for lime spreading, fertilising and harvesting. You can use the map in the main menu instead to see how your work on fields is progressing. Of course Giants answer was no, we don't do that in our games. I was watching FarmCon and my ears pricked up when in one of the Q&A sessions someone asked the question about would we get a dynamic mini-map. Some tasks I'm very happy not to use GPS for when I'm undertaking them, there are other tasks where I feel GPS would be a great benefit to the players in game, especially with other noticeably missing aspects and stuff that Giants haven't implemented. I can play the game with and without GPS. I use a numeric keypad for GPS, surely they would work with consoles? I certainly didn't encounter an issue with lack of buttons. I have Wopsters GPS Mod for FS19 and all needed functions are bound perfectly fine to my PS4 Controller that I play with on PC. Also Farm Sim is one of the best games going that allows for multiple key/button keybinds. I don't find the lack of buttons to be a valid excuse, as the GPS mods work fine with the buttons we have available. I just find it strange that Giants has not implemented one of the single most requested features after Seasons, to their game yet again, when it's been such a massive part of real life farming for over 30 years now, and we even operate at a time now where some vehicles and equipment in real life won't function without GPS. They just haven't got to it yet as they are working on other things first. Cross-platform multiplayer and a large variety of free community-created modifications, officially tested by GIANTS Software, extend the farming experience many times over.Giants just said in the Q&A portion of Day 3 FarmCon that GPS was something they want to add to the game, it's on their plate of things they want to bring to the game. Whether they create a lush vineyard or an olive orchard in the Mediterranean south of France, a vast farmland full of wheat and corn in the US-Midwest or a lively animal farm in the hilly landscape of the Alps: More than 400 machines and tools from over 100 real agricultural brands like Case IH, CLAAS, Deutz-Fahr, Fendt, John Deere, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, Valtra and many more are available. A multitude of new gameplay features, like new ground working mechanics as well as a character creator for individual farmers, offer more content and player freedom than ever before. Players creatively build their own farm and extend their operations with production chains - forming an agricultural empire! They focus on agriculture, animal husbandry and forestry while facing new challenges like the four seasons.
