*** NOTE: AUTOPILOT CONNECTION
Care must be taken when connecting the GPS Chart Plotter to an autopilot. Normally Port
3 (Yellow wire) will be used to connect to an Autopilot input, however older autopilots may
not be able to read the sentences due to the talker ID that is being used (II Integrated
Instrument). If the autopilot connections are made to Port 3 (Yellow wire) and the autopilot
is not reading the sentences, change the connections to Port 1 (Brown) or 2 (White) and
change the sentences to APA, APB, XTE, COG and BOD.
