[CA11] P70R: Unable to follow tracks from Garmin MFD

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum codingparadox,

The short answer is that a solution should be available to utilize your Garmin chartplotting products with Raymarine products. Raymarine products are designed to support NMEA 0183 and/or NMEA 2000 standards. Raymarine does not design workaounds to these standards to address third party products which deviate from these standards. While early software had an issue with respect to receiving proper navigational PGNs from Garmin chartplotting / MFD products associated with following a route, the latest available software for Raymarine's Evolution autopilots addresses this oversight. While we are not aware of any issues with currently manufactured Garmin chartplotting / MFD products, we are aware that some older Garmin chartplotting / MFD products may deviate from these standards and accordingly will continue to cause a no navigation condition to be reported. For the latter cases, it would be recommended that the Garmin chartplotting / MFD product be removed from the Evolution autopilot's backbone, that an Actisense NGW-1-STNG NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000 Gateway be interfaced to the Evolution autopilot's backbone, and that the NMEA 0183 input leads of the Actisense NGW-1-STNG NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000 Gateway then be interfaced to the Garmin chartplotting / MFD product.
