A system and method for guiding an implement on a machine to a target location is disclosed. The system comprises a GUI and a controller in operable communication with the GUI. The controller is configured to: (a) determine a current location of the implement relative to the target location on the work surface; and (b) display on the GUI a symbol in one of a plurality of states, each state associated with one or more locations of the implement relative to the target location. The state in which the symbol is displayed is indicative of the current location of the implement relative to the target location and each state is identified by at least one illuminated portion of the symbol. The controller is further configured to: (c) repeat (a) and (b) each time the implement is moved to a new current location.
