Abstract
A system and method is provided for positioning a vehicle with a hitch using an automatic steering system to align the vehicle with an implement so that the implement can be connected to the vehicle. The positions of the vehicle and the implement can be determined directly or indirectly from GPS position information. The known positions of the vehicle and implement are then used to calculate a path for the vehicle to align the vehicle with the implement. The calculated path is then provided to an automatic steering system of the vehicle to steer the vehicle along the path.
