Autopilot panel

The autopilot panel is used to display information when you are navigating. It replaces
the autopilot pop-up when used in full screen, or on any pages where it is used as a split
pane. The autopilot mode indication bar will also not be shown when the autopilot panel
is used.
The shortcut icon used to activate the autopilot panel is by default available on the Pages
panel. The panel can however only be used when an AC12, AC42 or SG05 computer is
available on the network.
