A system for controlling a mobile machine is disclosed. In one embodiment,
the system comprises an integrated guidance system coupled with a
steering component. The integrated guidance system comprises a position
determining system for determining the geographic position of the mobile
machine. A guidance system coupled with the position determining system
is for determining a deviation of the mobile machine from a desired
direction. The integrated guidance system also comprises a display
coupled with the guidance system for visually indicating a deviation from
a desired direction and a steering interface for controlling the steering
component. The steering component automatically controls the steering
mechanism of the mobile machine in response to a steering command
generated by the steering interface. In embodiments of the present
invention, the position determining system, the guidance system, the
display, and the steering interface are disposed within a housing.
