Abstract: An arrangement for detecting the position of a handset comprises a vehicle having a positioning signal receiver for receiving signals of the satellites of a positioning system and an electronic processor. The processor generates a local correction signal to improve the accuracy of a position determined by the signals of a positioning signal receiver. A portable handset is equipped with a positioning signal receiver for receiving signals of the satellites of the positioning system and an electronic processor which, in operation, receives position signals from the positioning signal receiver of the handset, derives from these signals raw position data of the handset and uses these raw position data for determining the position of the handset. The raw position data of the handset are corrected by the local correction signal provided by the processor of the vehicle.

Abstract: In accordance with an example embodiment, a method and a machine for planting seeds or plants in a field to enable a planting of the seeds or plants in an established spacing based on two-dimensional coordinates output by a positioning system and the slope of the field in the working direction.
