RE: SmartPilot error to Classic E120 Chartplotter

cjfrench,

E12180 is the part number for a S1 Wheel Pilot package which would have included the S1 Autopilot Course Computer. The S1/S1G/S2/S2G/S3/S3G Autopilot Course Computers are compatible with the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converters which have been updated with v1.21 SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter software.

Q: This weekend I removed the SeaTalk connection to the SmartPilot and switched it to NMEA0183.
A: The MFD's Autopilot Control feature is limited to compatible autopilot course computers which have been interfaced via SeaTalk or SeaTalkng communications protocols. The MFD's Autopilot Control feature cannot be used with Raymarine autopilots which have been interfaced via NMEA 0183 communications protocol or with third party autopilots.
