You'd have to watch our B&G Network Pilot steer a perfect course on
Lionheart with its rudder position sensor to see the difference. She also
has gyro input for rate-of-turn from a Raymarine Smart Heading Sensor.
Watching the wheel go through a turn at the moment of a waypoint turn is
like watching a ghost at the helm.


Larry,

How did you connect the Smart Heading Sensor to the B&G Network Pilot? I've
got both of these (I'm using the Raymarine "gyro" to stabilize the radar
display and MARPA functions), but looking at the B&G manuals I can't figure
out how to attach the gyro input. The NMEA data decoded by the Pilot
doesn't include the ROT sentences

Contact me off-group if you prefer:
(remove the x's)

Thanks,
Paul
