Intuitive marine control panel adds
an LED-backlit knob and button activation for more precise
control in all sea conditions
OLATHE,
Kan., Jan. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin
(NYSE: GRMN), the world's most innovative and recognized marine
electronics manufacturer, today announced the new
APK™ 10 Autopilot Keypad designed to give
mariners more precise control of their Reactor™ 40
autopilot. The keypad features an LED-encircled rotary knob that
allows for specific heading control, along with two autopilot
buttons – engage and standby – and two multipurpose buttons that
can be customized to the vessel.
"We're thrilled to offer an accessory that will appeal to
both current and future customers, providing them with more precise
control of their boat's autopilot system – especially in choppy
conditions. The APK 10 has a compact design, is easy to use and can
be added with a new install of a Reactor 40 autopilot or installed
to work with one already on a boat."
–Dan Bartel, Vice
President of Global Consumer Sales
