Any ideas how to get the Garmin 7612xsv chartplotter to send nav data to the Simrad AP28 autopilot when the chartplotter is displaying a route created by Auto Guidance?
Both are connected to the NMEA 2000 backbone and can see each other. The AP28 has been set to use the chartplotter data for position and navigation.
If you select or set a waypoint on the chartplotter and then select Go To, the Garmin draws a straight line to the waypoint, the AP28 sees the data, and will start navigating. However, it wants to navigate in a straight line, through land or whatever.
If you select Auto Guidance, the Garmin will draw a route to get there, based on the details specified about your boat, but the AP28 says no Nav data input.
Anyone know how to set up the Garmin to output data during Auto Guidance that the AP28 can consume?
Thanks.
