I have a ST60, wind and tridata and the Autohelp ST4000+ autopilot. All are on Sea talk and work very well. I want to add a GPS so I got the Raystar LP112 reciever. It to is Sea Talk. But it needs to plug into something like the NAV398. Well, the 398 is not sea talk, so how do I get my Sea Talk LP112 GPS to talk to my autopilot? I want my pilot to follow my route(way points) Any ideas. Thanks Bob

Use NMEA connection. The details should be in your manual. You have to have the GPS send the "correct" type of NMEA signal for it to be recognized. I have my Garman 12XL handheld GPS tied in to the system with a plug and snap off holder at the wheel pedestal. The plug even supplies DC power while hooked up. Gene Foraker
