1. A method for guiding a vehicle along a series of adjacent paths, comprising the steps of:

  • a. moving the vehicle along a first path;

    b. receiving positioning information from a navigational system during the movement of the vehicle along the first path;

    c. storing the positional information received during the movement of the vehicle; and

    d. computing a second path adjacent to said first path by calculating piecewise perpendicular offsets from the first path at multiple locations along the first path as defined by said stored positioning information, said offsets being substantially perpendicular to a local tangent to the first path at said locations.
