Crewing a yacht can be a busy task, especially if you are entertaining guests or taking in the sights during your journey. M.A.P Technology’s state of the art autonomous boat control device, M.A.P Pro, is an innovative solution, allowing you to remotely steer your vessel on a pre-routed course, via an app on your handheld device.

Always safely under your control, remotely steer the vessel from the app, or from the helm at any time.

M.A.P Pro is suitable for any boat, from motorboats to superyacht support vessels, and offers a complete system and the convenience of your own smart device.

The brains of M.A.P are sealed inside a marine proofed housing called the M.A.P Control Box (MCB). It is equipped with an INS, a Solid State Compass and a GPS module to estimate the boat’s heading and position.

The box is light and small at approximately 450-500gms and 150x106x47mm. MAP is connected to the boat’s battery and steering pump. Suitable for various propulsion systems including outboard, inboard, waterjet, sterndrive or electric.

On display at Sydney Boat Show via AMI’s proprietary BridgeLink Integrated Bridge, users can create waypoints and view M.A.P’s user friendly functionality and app integration. M.A.P’s Specialists will be on hand at AMI Group stand 607, to discuss compatibility with your vessel.

The autonomous control device also has diverse commercial and defence application, ensuring the safety of human crew during dangerous situations.

Distributed throughout Australasia by the AMI Group, contact your nearest AMI branch for more information.
