That third party company is not NASA, it is a wholly owned John Deere company called NavCom. http://www.navcomtech.com/StarFire/ Your comment about JD not playing nice is valid. After all JD is a iron company first - makes sense that they want you to use their equipment. Bottom line is that there are plenty of products on the market ... buy what works for you, your equipment, and the degree of proprietary components that you and your pocket book are comfortable with. Proprietary components isn't a new concept for Deere - hydraulic couplers is one good example from the past.
