I am trying to use
opencpn on a new onboard pc setup to drive a
raymarine s1000
autopilot. The problem is the s1000 uses a full time
gps input rather than a
fluxgate or other heading source. My understanding is that
opencpn only outputs to the
autopilot when there is an active
route which means that I would not be use the autopilot in simple heading hold mode.
Hopefully someone has a suggestion for how I can make this
work, the
software is otherwise leaps and bounds ahead of the old
maptech I have been using.
