Abstract
Systems and methods for planning a path of a vehicle are provided. One system comprises a location-determining receiver for determining location data representing a current vehicle location and a guidance module for identifying at least one geospatial region encompassing the current vehicle location based on geographical information retrieved from a guidance database. The guidance module is capable of generating a list of potential guidance lines based on the at least one geospatial region, each geospatial region being associated with at least one guidance line, each of the potential guidance lines on the list ranked based on one or more guidance criteria retrieved from the guidance database. The system further includes a user interface for displaying the guidance lines on the list to an operator of the vehicle for selection of a selected one of the potential guidance lines for controlling the path of the vehicle.
