Get the correct rotation

go to QGIS, 

  1. Change the EPSG to 4326 (press on the EPSG in the lower right corner and change if it something else than 4326).
  2. Zoom so you have the field edge to at the side of the screen
  3. Start change the rotation of the screen (in the right hand corner next to the EPSG)
 

Iterate step 2 and 3 until the field is aligned with the edge of the screen, then you have the rotation that you can use in the guiding file.
