Autopilot
If an AC12N, AC42N, SG05 or a NAC-1 autopilot computer is
connected to the system, autopilot functionality is available in the
system.
The system does not allow for more than one autopilot computer
on the network.
The display unit automatically detects the autopilot computer
available on the network and presents settings, configuration and
user options for the connected computer.
An Autopilot is designed to maintain an accurate course in various
sea conditions with minimal helm movements.

but DOES NOT replace a human navigator.

computers.
