1. A method of operating an agricultural vehicle, the method comprising:
obtaining, with a computer, three-dimensional location information for multiple positions within an area of operation; creating, with the computer, a three-dimensional elevation model for the area of operation, based at least in part on the three-dimensional location information; developing, with the computer, one or more three-dimensional guidance paths for the operation of the agricultural vehicle within the area of operation, based at least in part on the three-dimensional elevation model; and providing, with the computer, information to a control system of the agricultural vehicle, the information comprising data representing the one or more three-dimensional guidance paths.
