I've used JD and NH/Trimble. The JD touchscreen is nice, and their steering wheel drive is a little better. But to record where you've been, you have to skip around different screens and hit a button twice when you get to the end of the field, or let it think you're overlapping when you turn around.
The NH/Trimble has 2 modes, one is simple with few options, the other is advanced, and lets you do a lot more stuff with it. But in the simple mode, you can't strike a line, strike another, and then go back to the first. Either way, it records where you've been when you set the steering.
In 3 years I never could get the measurements for hitch point and dome to the point that when the planter came onto my headland, it would show the planter overlapping. It actually tracked better on curves when it thought the hitch point was up between the front tires.
Boss has Outback Guidance with hydraulic autosteer, it has a set of valves plumbed into the steering and doesn't turn the wheel. I know he moves right along with it spraying, but I've never used it.
I wouldn't bother with GPD guidance without the autosteer. You think watching a marker track is bad all day, try watching a light bar.
