I'm going to respectfully disagree with you on this point, Admiral. I had heard the same stories about Garmin chartplotters not playing well with no-Garmin auto pilots. Wanderlust has a 12" Garmin 7612xsv chartplotter and a Simrad AP28 autopilot. I connected both to the NMEA 2000 backbone. They communicate well with each other and the autopilot follows plotted and stored routes in the chartplotter perfectly, including automatic, turn-by-turn navigation.
