[CA] [CA11] garmin plotter and raymarine evo pilot

[relentless]

hey im preparing to roll back my evo autopilot gear im running the garmin 720p plotter with gnx10 garmin wired Gwind, due to it not following autotrack feature. but I was told to have things updated to correct a wind vane track issue last july between the garmin wind transducer and the raymarine autopilot during wind tack mode

I have now seen in the FAQ found here to roll the software back.

so to be clear, am I correct in assuming that Raymarine is not advising the software rollback? which was previously advised

I keep my current updated software on my
P70 - v3.07
EV1 - v3.01
ACU-100 - v2.23

instead, I purchase the Actisense NGW-1 , set the Garmin GPSMAP720p plotter to nmea0183 (not nmea2000), connect the Actisence NGW-1 and use that to convert to nmea2000?

this will correct the issue and leave my evolution autopilot up to date?
please advise if this is the correct process before I purchase the gateway to rectify the situation.

Best Regards
Colin!
