A pilot remote control

The Quatix watch is at its 3 e version (despite the number 5). Since the beginning, it has been a watch that integrates a GPS and can communicate with the Garmin devices installed on board. On the Quatix 5, you can now record waypoints that will be stored on the edge plotter.

It will be useful when anchoring to memorize its position from the front of the boat and then monitor if it does not skid. With this new model, you can also take control of the driver and modify the route, or even launch the pre-registered manoeuvres (turning, turning...).

Once connected to a GHC 20 pilot controller, it can be used to activate or deactivate the pilot, set a course, initiate a GPS route or engage a pre-programmed manoeuvre model such as a half turn.
