Simrad AP44 Autopilot Controller

Simrad AP44 Autopilot Controller Product Description

Clear Views and Intuitive Control: The AP44 combines a full-color graphical display with simple keypad and rotary-dial controls. This intuitive interface provides a clear view of autopilot status and easy access to all features. To ensure optimal visibility in all conditions, the AP44’s LCD panel is optically bonded to its protective glass covering; this eliminates the possibility of condensation or fogging within the display. Transflective LCD technology makes use of reflected sunlight to brighten rather than obscure the display, delivering superior day-time visibility and lower power consumption compared to traditional backlit displays. Easy Access to Advanced Features: Your Simrad autopilot can do much more than keep you on course. The AP44 gives you easy access to a range of built-in turn patterns designed to assist with fishing, diving, or just making a quick and efficient U-turn. Choose a turn, select port or starboard, and you’re away. For more control, customize your turn pattern to execute complex spirals, zigzags, and other useful manoeuvres. No Drift Steering counteracts the effects of wind and tide; making it easy to maintain a straight track over ground on your current heading, without having to manually set a waypoint or route. Depth Contour Tracking works to maintain a constant depth of water beneath your boat, and is an ideal tool for fishing ledges and drop-offs.

The AP44 autopilot controller, which is designed to conveniently control the autopilot Simrad, is designed with ease of use. When paired with the compatible Simrad Autopilot Core Pack, a bright, optically bonded 4.1-inch color display can be viewed in all weather conditions, and a dedicated point for autopilot control is provided. An easy-to-use user interface is the core of AP 44. Advanced functions can be used with only 4 buttons and a rotary dial, such as automatic steering modes that can help fishing and diving, or even simple navigation and U-turns, as long as they are used with the appropriate core components. Easy to achieve. Another advanced feature built into the AP44 is the "drift-free" mode, which integrates a GPS receiver or Simrad Chartplotter into the navigation system through NMEA2000, and has an automatic steering function, so you can keep driving straight regardless of wind or wind. You can easily navigate to the current title by entering waypoints. The easy-to-set automatic adjustment and calibration functions make AP44 the first choice for automatic driving control. AP 44 needs several hours of calibration time, so it provides automatic debugging and simple screen debugging functions, including terminal configuration and sea trial.
