dapagani,

Unlike the Evolution autopilots which are NMEA 2000 Certified, the SPX autopilots are not. While SeaTalkng communications is basically, an extension of the NMEA 2000 protocol, there are no guarantees that third party chartplotting products featuring a NMEA 2000 communications interface may be interfaced as a spur to the same backbone as are SPX autopilot components when seeking to utilize the autopilot's Track mode. Should this not work, then it would be recommended that the aforementioned data bridging device be used. As you have suggested, the A06046 / 59.1in (1.5m) DeviceNet Male to SeaTalkng Spur adapter may be used to support interfacing a third party product supporting NMEA 2000 communications to the spur socket of a SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone which has been constructed from SeaTalkng networking components.
