I have an N2k network but no mfd. Can I use the gofree and a Android smart phone to view network data & control my simrad AP12 autopilot? Does it have to plug in to an mfd to work.

Hello,
I would not want to risk giving the wrong info so suggest you contact Navico tech support - this is the parent company of Simrad and B&G and Lowrance.

I am pretty sure you need the mfd to take advantage of the wireless unit. The only input/output appears to be Ethernet. I would double check with manufacturer.
