I only have a GPS puck wired into my EFIS. The same GPS source is wired into my Tru Track autopilot as well.
If I understand the manual correctly, I can run the EFIS in flight director mode and configure it to provide vertical guidance with the altitude bug and horizontal guidance from the GPS source. The simple GPS puck doesn't give any direction commands to the autopilot.
I've been using the EFIS in flight plan mode but would like to be able to drive the vertical with the altitude bug.
Any way to do this? I've been looking over the manual and it doesn't seem so, unless I'm missing something, which is entirely possible.
It's nice to be able to call up a waypoint and hit the direct to button and have it follow the line, but changing altitude while in that mode doesn't seem easy.
