Don't know about the office software or mapping features - don't have that with ours, but the newer Fieldstar monitor software is sure better than the early ones. Moisture, yield, etc shows an actual number rather than those hard-to-read bar graphs. That, and they did away with the extremely annoying "No data card" beeper that would go off every time you started cutting after having the clutches off - the one that sounded exactly like the Tattletale beeper and would put the fear of the Almighty in you thinking something just broke until you got used to the stupid thing going off each time.
