As I’ve indicated before, I’m extremely interested in the new GHP 10 autopilot from Garmin. I’m especially excited about the Shadow Drive user interface modality (sorry, I can’t think of a less geeky way to describe it). You can read my earlier post to learn why I’m genuinely “excited” about it; I really think this is the way an autopilot should work!
So far, though, I haven’t had a chance to see one in operation. I plan to remedy that situation shortly, but in the meantime…
Al Herum of Marine Electronics Reviews has published a hands-on review of the unit, including his do-it-yourself installation experience, setup and calibration, and sea trials.
It sounds like my understanding of the Shadow Drive interface is accurate, and now I’m even more excited about seeing one in action.

Any word on whether or when Garmin will enter the sailboat autopilot business?

Can this be interfaced with a Raymarine C80?
