Northstar Autopilot Corepack includes the course computer which contains advanced software algorithms and is the brain of the system. The course computer will incorporate position and navigation data from the GPS chartplotter and wind and speed data from the instrument system. The output is a smooth proportional control of the rudder with the outmost precision providing excellent steering performance in any sea condition with a minimum of power consumption.
The performance of the heading sensor is essential for the autopilot. The best steering algorithms cannot compensate for an unstable and inaccurate heading reference. The Northstar Corepack includes the heading sensor, rate gyro, and compass as standard to offer you the best steering performance available.
