I would recommend staying away from the current generation since the control
head don't necassarily have the course computer in them, just some secondary
circuits, display and buttons. The course computer is incorporated in some
other nav station equipment..


The current ST4000 has the course computer in the head. It comes with
a fluxgate compass in a separate housing and the display gives you a
compass even if you aren't using the pilot.

It is also a Seatalk display if you have a sender for other info.
