More powerful and rugged than ever before, SmartPilot course computers serve as the central intelligence hub of our inboard pilot systems.
SmartPilots with Advanced Steering Technology (AST) SmartPilot course computers with built-in Rate Gyro bring
marine autopilot performance to a new level. The Rate Gyro enables Raymarine's Advanced Steering Technology (AST) software to intelligently monitor the yaw of the vessel and actually anticipates course changes. A specially developed course control algorithm then delivers razor sharp course keeping without instability or overshoot. This gyro enhanced autopilot performance and advanced software is especially valuable in difficult steering situations, such as downwind with a following sea. Raymarine's AST software also enables Rate Gyro equipped SmartPilots to 'AutoLearn' the vessels steering characteristics, simplifying calibration and allowing the autopilot to constantly 'adapt' to changing sea conditions.
With SmartPilot course computers you can: Control the way the pilot steers your boat. Using sensitive response AST for the most comfortable ride or to conserve power on long
sail passages. Set your pilot up for optimum performance. Using the intelligent AutoLearn function with new control units, AST* and AutoLearn* software to automatically learn your boat’s handling characteristics. >

inboard autopilot with a Raymarine GPS to track straight to your next waypoint. Stay right on course when the going gets tough. Using Fastrim AST to correct any changes in standing helm to keep the vessel on course (e.g. weather helm or loss of one engine). Course computer features Fishing Patterns.
