If you have active JDlink machines, they were already signed to your account by your dealer. To add new equipment, John Deere machines and other brands, you have to click the plus symbol. Now you have to fill in the PIN number and name of your machine. In this case we add a John Deere 6155R tractor. After that you search for the brand, select what kind of equipment it is, and after that you can select the specific model of the machine you want to add. If the model is not in the list, you can still add it manually. In the last step you can choose the colours that you would like to use for the shown machine icon. John Deere brand colours are available. Now you simply have to click on add and your machine will be available. In the machine list you can search for the machine number or name and here it is. As soon as you added a machine or equipment, further information is available. To see the machine flag, you can either select the equipment in the machine list or you can click directly on the machine icon on the map.

If the machine is equipped with JDLink and an MTG terminal, you can see which JDLink subscription you have on the machine. Now click on offsets. Here you can add or change the width and height of your machine. Once saved, this will help you to get started in the field right away.
