SmartPilot Functions
The functions provided with your SmartPilot system depend on whether the
SmartPilot computer contains an internal GyroPlus yaw sensor
:
Extended systems
You can connect the SmartPilot controller to other Raymarine SeaTalk
equipment so it can send and receive SeaTalk data:
it can use waypoint information from a SeaTalk navigation instrument to
provide track control
it can use boat speed from a SeaTalk speed instrument to optimize track-
keeping performance
it can use wind information from a SeaTalk wind instrument for Wind
Vane steering
You can also use the SmartPilot with any navigator or wind instrument that
transmits National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) 0183 data.
The SmartPilot control unit can display SeaTalk and NMEA instrument data
in a user-defined selection of data pages.
For further information on other connections to your system see SmartPilot
