Autopilot
If a compatible 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.
For details about installing and configuring an autopilot computer,
refer to the separate manuals that come with the autopilot
computer.

An autopilot is a useful navigational aid,
