Raymarine C90w

[panhead56]

Hello,

We own (2) Raymarine C90w multifunction chartplotters with (2) Simrad AP24 autopilots upper and lower helm (2009). Including a Raymarine RD 418D, 4KW digital radar.
I’m looking to interface the autopilot to the Raymarine display in order to set way points so that we can follow the route.

Not sure if this would be a good match for traveling up and down the west coast of Florida. Currently the Raymarine does not have a card, heard that they might not be a great match. I understand that interfacing with an IPad might be a better choice with Navionics installed.

Was hoping for any recommendations / experience with this.


Thank you,
Gary

Interfacing a c90w with the autopilot is easy. All you need to do is hook the NMEA 0183 out from the c90w to the NMEA 0183 in on the autopilot. Autopilots just look at cross track error. If you don’t have a cf navionics card for your area go to ebay.

I have not yet hooked an iPad to my nmea network. I do have navionics on my iPad. Brought a boat all the way from LA to Seattle with nothing more than an iPad.
