[Ernst C. <ern...@gm...>]

Gentleman,

I'm trying to get in touch with the project manager but all email i
send is bounced due to non existing.
Can somebody bring me in contact with him?

Kind regards,

Ernst Cozijnsen

Hi Mike,

Ik came across you website via google
(http://rcpilot.sourceforge.net/modules/rcap/index.php)  and it looks
really great.
We are in the process of developing an autopilot for an RC boat that
can follow a certain track from waypoint to waypoint supplied by a
chartplotter or e.g. OZI explorer.

Ships auto pilot normally navigate using the following strings

APB - Autopilot Sentence B
BWR - Bearing and Distance to Waypoint
RMB - Recommended Minimum Navigation Info

These sentences include all data (as far is i now know) to do the stuff we need.

Is you auto pilot based on these sentences also or is it using GPS
direct sentences?

We hope that we can use your knowledge and maybe work together on this
if you are interested.

Hope to hear from you

With kind regards,
