I have a Furuno TZT2 12 MFD with networked Furuno VHF, Radar, Satellite compass. I am pleased with the performance of this system AND Furuno’s outstanding customer service. I now want I add an AP, but the Furuno system is back ordered until late 8/24, too late for use this season. I have heard good things about Simrad’s newer AP, and it is available. It sounds like the Simrad AP should play nice with the otherwise Furuno system. Is there a compelling reason to wait for the Furuno AP availability, to keep it all with a single manufacturer? Has anyone had experience with either, or both, the Furuno and Simrad APs? Both are purportedly good products, does anyone have strong preference for one over the other? Thank you for your recommendations. I can wait if warranted, otherwise I will break tradition and go with Simrad.
