I have yet to do any autopilot research, as I am a long way away from that point. However, I am planning to buy a new GPS unit very soon.
Question: the portable GPS units (Garmin, Lowrance, etc.).....they essentially wire into an autopilot unit via the NMEA output, correct?
I am looking at the Lowrance 1000 and 2000c, and wanted to be sure that the factory outputs would allow for simple autopilot integration?
I have flown with a friend who has the 2000c, and I like the larger screens of the Lowrance units. Plus, for $849, the color unit is very affordable with many features. I just wanted to be sure about the autopilot (future) hookup. Can anyone elaborate on the connections to autopilot from portable GPS units?
Many thanks, in advance!
