Hi Edd, My Raymarine SPX-5 wheel pilot has a follow-route option. It gets that route via NMEA 1083 from my Garmin plotter. If that can do it, you can! One proviso is that I have to hit "acknowledge" at each waypoint arrival on the pilot controller in order for it to continue on to the next one. The only connection I had to make was the NMEA output on my plotter to the input on a Seatalk instrument with that feature (I think the pilot controller did, but I used an ST60+ multi-display because it was closer).
