Raymarine SPX-5 with P70 with Garmin 3210 Chartplotter

[Poundsey]

How do I use the SPX-5 to follow a route created with 3210 chartplotter? Is the P70 controller able to do this?

I would just keep single. Wse the cjart plottre ant set the direction manualy with the auto pilot. You need to sit there anyway and watch wats going on. You cant go below to nap and you dont want your boat to just change directions in front of another boat that wont be show up on the chartplotter. You wont have to hold the wheel for hours. But you need to be watching all the time anyway

Yes it is , select the route using the NaV button, this publishes the route onto the 0183 interface , press nav on the Raymarine to follow that published course. The pilot will require manual intervention because it changes course
