Garmin, the world’s most innovative and recognized marine electronics manufacturer, today announced the new APK™ 10 Autopilot Keypad designed to give mariners more precise control of their Reactor™ 40 autopilot. The keypad features an LED-encircled rotary knob that allows for specific heading control, along with two autopilot buttons – engage and standby – and two multipurpose buttons that can be customized to the vessel.
“We’re thrilled to offer an accessory that will appeal to both current and future customers, providing them with more precise control of their boat’s autopilot system – especially in choppy conditions. The APK 10 has a compact design, is easy to use and can be added with a new install of a Reactor 40 autopilot or installed to work with one already on a boat.” –Dan Bartel, Vice President of Global Consumer Sales
