Garmin auto-guidance with EV-100 ?

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Nurber,

Per our phone conversation, a FAQ has been previously posted to address Evolution autopilot compatibility issues arising when interfaced via NMEA 2000 to some Garmin chartplotting products. The referenced FAQ may be found here. I have updated the FAQ to additionally include the suggested workaround involving a NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000 data bridging device. Based upon the information found on Garmin's Auto Guidance feature, it simply appears to be an autorouting feature analogous to the Navionics Dock To Dock Autorouting feature supported by Raymarine MFDs. When the chartplotting product is commanded to following these routes, corresponding navigational data will be transmitted to the MFDs. While I feel somewhat confident that downgrading the Evolution autopilot's software may address issue specified within the FAQ, its good to know that the suggested workaround involving a NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000 data bridging device has been proven. Thanks again for the suggestion.
