[CA] [CA11] Element MFD and Evolution autopilot

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Joe,

Q. One last question. What benefit(s) if any would I get by connecting the P70s Control Head that came with my EV-100, if I have an Axiom 9? Just a secondary location to control the Auto Pilot if desired?
A. As you may have read within threads addressing this subject, it is considered to be a best installation practice to install an autopilot control head at each of the vessel's steering stations. Autopilot control heads offer the quickest access to the autopilot controls ... something to bear in mind when situation arises requiring immediate interaction with the autopilot. Within LightHouse II software, an autopilot control head was additionally required to command the autopilot into wind vane mode. The latest LightHouse 3 software does not have this limitation.
