Anybody have any luck with this? My dealer says that I can input all my fields on my computer and shoot it to usb and then to 2630. Cant figure out how to put a boundary with a field name. I dont have apex. Maybe I need to buy that? Dealer says this is going to be the new way.

Haven't tried yet, but was told to forget Apex and go this route.

I don't know what you are trying to achieve, but field boundaries from JD are a PITA. They are required to use the autoturn function, or I wouldn't use them at all. The boundarys need to be driven, rather than loaded from a satellite image. If you try to plant outside the boundary, swath control shuts the seeding off and headland control leaves skips. If you don't plant close enough to the boundary, headland control overplants and autoturn wants to drive outside the boundary.

Then if you took out a tree or filled a ditch you used to drive around and you want to change the boundary to match you have to redrive it. I have some fields with a 2 mile boundary. That takes a long time at 5 mph.

But the 2630 allows you to name the farms and fields when you input the boundary.

I have talked at JD software people at farm shows, and I am of the firm conclusion they are some of the most arrogant people on the face of this earth. I have had them argue with me about how the system works and then had them tell me I wasn't using it right when I demonstrated the behavior they said wouldn't occur on their training system. But they wouldn't show me how to use it properly. I have had them tell me I shouldn't use the the interior boundary feature, but they wouldn't admit it didn't work properly. They are just part of a clown circus I paid a lot of money to attend.

Agree that they are not easy to deal with or contact.
I am back a decade from u bent. Simply trying to input field names and locations from home computer, then upload to 2630 so my equipment finds the field and the operation can be logged. Seems like if u pay for intellilink it will transfer automatically but it's all very unclear on the website. At end of day I will likely have to settle for an AB line and be content

My dealer said you still need Apex, but for how long is unknown, as JD said the myJd will replace apex someday!

I haven't tried myjd yet, but have had my pw changed 2 times and can't remember it again!
