43. The route planning method for agricultural working machines as defined in claim 41, further comprising selecting by the operator (5) the driving path (25, 26) by operating a touch-screen monitor (51).
44. The route planning system for agricultural working machines as defined in claim 1, wherein said means is formed so that the automatically generating a new driving path for an agricultural working machine is performed in response to the operator changing the machine’s working sequence for the territory at any time while driving the agricultural working machine.
45. The route planning method for agricultural working machines as defined in claim 23, wherein said means is formed so that automatically generating a new driving path for an the agricultural working machine in response to the operator changing the machines working sequence for the territory at any time includes the automatically generating the new driving path is performed in response to the operator changing the machines working sequence for the territory at any time while driving the agricultural working machine.
46. The route planning method for agricultural working machines as defined in claim 31, wherein said means is formed so that automatically generating a new driving path for an the agricultural working machine in response to the operator changing the machines working sequence for the territory at any time includes the automatically generating the new driving path is performed in response to the operator changing the machines working sequence for the territory at any time while driving the agricultural working machine.
