3.1 Product overview Evolution is a system of electronic components that give you autopilot control of your vessel’s steering system. In conjunction with a compatible Autopilot controller, the Evolution components enable you to directly control the vessel’s steering system and provide navigation commands, such as navigating to pre-determined tracks and waypoints for example.
“essential” components listed. However, these “recommended” components are not included in all autopilot products or system packs. Consult the Raymarine website or your local dealer for a full list of the components included with your autopilot system.
If MDS-compliant software is not available for the product and you do NOT want to use the system’s preferred data source, you must remove any non-compliant products from the system. You should then be able to select your preferred data source. Note: Once you have completed setting up your preferred data sources, you may be able to add non-compliant products back into the system.
