The ap is compatible with: HDS Gen-2 non touch, HDS Gen-2 Touch, Gen-3 and Carbon. It's not compatible with the Elite Ti series. The Ti can control a Xi5 but not the ap Because Lowrance & Simrad are from the same familiy it's also compatible with Simrad EVO-2 & EVO-3 and with the Go series. With the GO series you can't control a Xi5 but you can use it with the Hydraulic ap; also Lowrance also have the same ap for a cable steer steering.

The Ti can't be link with the AP only on a Motor Guide Xi5 The Simrad Go series can be link to the Lowrance AP and they do have a nice interface; you should consider the cost of a Simrad Go vs the cost of a Gen-2 Touch, considering the 2 is at the end of life. Maybe you can find a Gen-3 at a good price and that will be the very best because you can link it with the actual Gen-2

PM sent!

You will be happy with the Lowrance; I'm running one and I'm more then satisfied. I do have Gen-3 so it make very easy to control from the MFD screen. The only part that is more problematic on the installation part is the bleeding of the hydraulic system. What kind of hydraulic system are you running with youre Verado? Electric power steering or just the regular Seastar?

Absolutly! I miss on that one.

I run a Lowrance witch in fact is a Simrad and I'm more then happy with it and it cost around $1000 but you need to pair it with a Lowrance MFD http://www.lowrance.com/en-US/Products/Auto-Steering/Outboard-Pilot-Hydraulic-Pack-en-us.aspx

I think I got 2 but they are 1 piece

The app is around $20 for the smartphone and $50 for the tablet. For the tablet you need a tablet with the cell capability; you dgot that on't need a cell plan but you need the slot to put a sim card because when you can use a sim card the tablet does have a gps
