Cannot enable LightHouse 3 Autopilot Controls feature with legacy autopilot
The Autopilot Controls feature of LightHouse 3 software is restricted to systems featuring Evolution autopilots. While this feature is not supported in systems featuring compatible legacy Raymarine autopilots or compatible third party autopilots, MFDs running LightHouse 3 software are indeed capable of supplying navigational and steering data to compatible autopilots to support use of the autopilot's Track mode feature. The MFD will initiate communications of such data when navigation (Go To Waypoint / Cursor Position or Follow Route) has been commanded through the LightHouse 3 software. The autopilot may then be commanded into Track mode via the autopilot's control head.
