MachineryGuide AutoSteer review
Android-based automatic steering with calibration, alarms, and RTK-loss shutdown options.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
MachineryGuide AutoSteer is an automatic steering system for agricultural machinery, intended for operators who want vehicles to follow navigation lines calculated by the MachineryGuide GPS guidance application. The package includes an AutoSteer unit, MachineryGuide NODE, a tablet application, and a wheel-angle sensor. It is a focused machine-guidance tool rather than a broad precision-agriculture suite, so it fits farms looking for steering assistance more than teams seeking a single platform for many field-management tasks.
The steering controls provide adjustment for machinery dimensions, steering aggressivity, speed, and dynamics, alongside wheel-angle sensor and offset calibration. An optional tilt compensation sensor is supported. For signal and steering events, operators can configure deviation alarms and steering stall detection, and may enable automatic steering shutdown if the RTK signal is lost. These functions provide options for configuring guidance behavior and responding to specified conditions, but the system does not control vehicle speed or avoid obstacles. It is designed for field use with an operator remaining in the cab.
The product integrates with the MachineryGuide GPS guidance system, MachineryGuide NODE, and compatible BSC and BSC Pres control units. The vendor offers packages by quote rather than publishing prices, so prospective buyers need to contact sales to discuss package costs. The official downloads page identifies the Android application; tablet-based operation is described in the manual. This is a fit for operators already considering the MachineryGuide guidance setup and needing automatic steering with calibration and alerts. Farms that need speed control, obstacle avoidance, or broader precision-agriculture capabilities should consider alternatives.
