I have had some issues with this product referring to the NMEA which I am in the process of sorting out with Simrad. They have been very helpful, and if the problem persists they will test it for me. But the TP32 does everything well.

The price is Hi, but unit is good. Simrad is serious manufacture.
Obviously, the software on my old TP 32 was not really compatible with modern navigation devices. Simply connect the new one to the old connection and it was immediately recognized by the B&G Zeus 2 plotter in the NMEA network and can also be operated from this.
I replaced a defective TP20 on my Wibo 820 with the TP32. I am very satisfied after the test drive. The compass adjustment worked and he does his job with almost no effort. The old TP20 had more work to do and was much slower.
I was looking for an autopilot for my Comet 333 that in the cruise setup exceeds the 4.500 tons by a lot. With the TP 32 I should have solved the problem without having to necessarily switch to a hydraulic pilot. In any case, when it's blowing and there's some sea, I use a windvane gear while the pilot rests peacefully without straining and without consuming energy.
Conform to my expectations, probably a bit too powerful for my first 30, my can the most can the least, easy to use, a pity that the manual is not in French but even without instructions, easy use. Fast delivery even in the middle of the summer.
SVB has sent the product before the deadline and scrupulously fulfilling all announced conditions. SVB has responded quickly and clearly to all questions. My assessment of this experience is EXCELLENT. The online purchases to SVB are highly recommended.
I think it is the best bar autopilot at this price. The economy is achieved by eliminating various displays and keys, but the substance, ie the thrust force, speed and accuracy are there. In the long term I don't know what will happen, but with a new autopilot I am very satisfied.
