I have a WH AP on my boat still. It is a backup, I invariably use the Furuno NavPilot now. About 6 years ago I visited the 'factory', just after they had relocated. I don't have a pdf of a manual, but will check for a hardcopy on the boat within the next day or two.

Will was quite old back when I visited, but still mobile and active with responding to customers. But even then remote contacts, except for a crisis, were a challenge at best. Not very responsive at all. Which is why I visited in person. I can believe he has eventually had to back off a bit. But there were other folks around at the place, and my impression was that the business would continue. If a site visit is feasible then that could be worthwhile.
