Track steering
With AP70/80 software release 1.2 the AP80 system and a Simrad CS68 ECDIS forms a fully
type approved Track steering system according to IEC62065 ed.1.
The routes are planned on and commanded by an ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display

you can start a route on the ECDIS and make the AP80 automatically keep the vessel on this
route.
The Track feature is only available after unlocking it using a key obtained from Navico. The
unlock mechanism resides in the autopilot computer board. Only after enabling this feature,
the autopilot system can form part of a certified track control system.

• The autopilot system must comprise of at least one AP80, and at least one of the following
autopilot computers: AC80A, AC80S or AC85
• The ECDIS system must be connected to the AP80 system via an SI80
• A valid unlock key must be obtained from Navico
• In a system with multiple autopilot computer boards where track feature shall be redundant,

The Track feature will remain unlocked after restarting the system and after later software
upgrades.
¼ Note: A factory reset of the autopilot computer will delete the unlock key and it must be re-
entered
