Garmin GHP10 use to be the Gladiator TR1

I have the TR1 and it works well. I don't like the user control panel at all. I haven't seen the Garmin version and don't know if they've changed it. THe TR1 is a mass of pushbuttons and not intuitive at all. The primary reason I bought it was becouse of the shadow drive where you can take control at any time. That's handy when dodging things like crabpots.

I say get the GHP10 too. The new version has been totally "Garminized" so it is very easy to use.

I like that "Garminized"!!!

It is a very good autopilot that is easy to use and holds up very well.

Things always seem to get Garminzed AFTER I buy them. Oh well, Garmin's updating it can only make a good product better.

I just replaced my Furuno NAv Net I with a Garmin 5212. I installed the GHP 10 as well. GARMINIZED, as KErn states was my reason for switching, may not be the best bottom machine, but they make them so " a push here dummy" like myself can use them. Furuno is just not easy to use. Was going to do an AP 24 from Simirad, and ultimately, after reading about the TR!, went Garmin, complete

Other than the fact that you own the unit you are recommending what makes it better or the one to get?

It seems that the initial set up of a auto piiot takes some time and experience and you going to have a dealer install it?
