Data exchange between touch and non-touch terminals
If you want to transfer field data between a non-touch terminal (e.g.: TRACK-Guide II) and the touch terminal (or vice-versa), please observe the following:
- ▪
- Data from the “ngstore” folder is not compatible with both terminal types. You cannot open the ngstore files from a non-touch terminal directly with the touch terminal.
- ▪
- However, you can convert field boundaries, guidance lines, and obstacles that were saved on a terminal into shp format and then import them onto a different terminal. To do this, use the “ISOBUS-TC” app. For instructions on how to do so, please refer to the operating instructions for the terminal.
Procedure
To import field data from a non-touch terminal:
- 1.
- On the non-touch terminal, open the “Storage” screen in TRACK-Leader.
- ⇨
- The field data is converted into several formats (*.shp, *.kml) and saved to the “SHP” folder on the USB memory device.
- 4.
- Repeat this procedure for all the fields from which you want to transfer the field data.
- 5.
- Insert the USB memory device into the touch terminal.
- 6.
- Open the ISOBUS-TC application.
- 7.
- Tap “Fields”.
- 8.
- Create a dataset for each field. Then you can load multiple field data for each field. You can find more information on this in the instructions of the terminal.

In this way, you can also transfer data from touch terminals to the non-touch terminal.
