1. A vehicle swath planning system comprising:

  • a computer implemented device for automatic parallel swath path generation based upon initial vehicle swath path information, said device including;

    a data processing device;

    a data input device in communication with said data processing device;

    an algorithmic software directing said data processing device; and

    a data storage unit, wherein said initial vehicle swath path information is stored and supplied to said data processing device such that said data processing device, directed by said algorithmic software, automatically synthesizes and defines a family of parallel swath paths using an algorithmically defined relationship between initial vehicle swath path information and each member of the family of parallel swath paths, such that information representative of said family of parallel swath paths is stored and visually reported to a vehicle operator on-the-go in near real-time.
