Evolution Autopilots are fully compatible with Raymarine Axiom, Element, and older MFDs via SeaTalkng or NMEA 2000. This allows route tracking, wind-based steering, and control via touchscreen. Q. How does the EV Sensor Core improve steering accuracy?A. The EV Sensor Core uses solid-state gyros and accelerometers to monitor vessel motion in 3D.
