[CA] [CA11] Upgrading from E7 to Axiom 9 - cables/converters needed?

[scottotheforest]

Thank you Chuck. Understood. Easier install with the required SeaTalkng/NMEA 0183 data bridge at least, as the 300 course computer has a bare wire terminal block and soldering and heat shrink isn't required as with the data converter for the AIS VHF, but with result in spending more $$ for another piece of hardware.

So if properly connected with a data converter, your final comment says the system will support my autopilot's Track mode feature and receive directions from the Axiom, correct?

Does that mean it's capable of following a multi waypoint Route set of instructions from the Axiom, and auto change vessel heading from one waypoint to the next in the Route as the vessel achieves each waypoint destination?

Just want to be sure I have the right understanding of the terms Track and Route as it applies to autopilot navigation, to make an educated decision on this potential further system upgrade.

Appreciated, as always Chuck.
