Work vehicle display systems and methods for automatic section control lookahead symbology

Work vehicle display systems and methods for generating map displays including automatic section control (ASC) lookahead symbology are disclosed. In embodiments, the work vehicle display system includes a display device on which a map display is generated, a position tracking data source, and a controller architecture. The controller architecture is operable in an ASC lookahead mode in which the controller architecture: (i) projects a future position of the work implement at a future timepoint based, at least in part, on data received from the position tracking data source; (ii) projects future operative states of the implement sections at the future timepoint when the implement sections are controlled by an ASC system; and (iii) generates ASC lookahead symbology on the map display visually indicating the projected future position of the work implement and the projected future operative states of the implement sections.
