Garmin, the well-known manufacturer of GPS equipment, has introduced a robust marine autopilot system for sailboats designed to handle sailing dead downwind and in quartering seas - two situations where many autopilots seem to falter.
The GHP 12 autopilot, intended for sailboats up to 70 feet in length, updates Garmin's GHP 10 autopilot with sailing-specific software, something Garmin's customers have requested, said Greg DeVries, Garmin's director of marine sales and marketing.
"We haven't had a solution for sailboats before," DeVries said in an interview with Suite101.com. "This is designed to handle pitch and yaw - the forces on a sailboat, which can be much harder to handle than a powerboat."
