1 Introduction

This manual has been created for users of the MAP Pilot by MAP Marine Technologies. It includes

detailed instructions for the installation of the autopilot and its accessories, as well as instructions on

how to connect to its accompanying mobile application for the autonomous navigation of your vessel.

Please ensure that you follow all warnings and safety instructions to safely install this system.

If you have any queries regarding the installation process, or if the appropriate configuration for your

vessel is not available in this document, please contact your MAP dealer. Visit us online at

www.almarakeb.net or contact MAP-Tech System support by phone at +971 6 538 5196.

Warnings

•Users are responsible for the safety of their vessels, and the passengers and crew onboard.

•Never leave the control station unattended and stay alert for navigational hazards; the MAP

Pilot system cannot avoid obstacles.

•Always start the boat in HOLD MODE.

•Always switch on the autopilot pump in AUTO MODE and switch off the pump in MANUAL

MODE.

•Never operate the system under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

•Always refer to the manual for operational information.

•The suppliers of the MAP Pilot System are not responsible for any accident that may occur

from use of this system or otherwise.

Caution

•The MAP Pilot has an accuracy of ±20 meters.

•You should learn to operate the MAP Pilot in hazard-free open water.

•Always cross check the latest naval charts for new construction projects.

•Always use safety goggles, gloves, and a dust mask while installing the MAP Pilot System.

•Use the mounting templates provided for MAP Pilot and MAP MFD to drill holes.

•Beware of fuel tanks, electrical cables, and hydraulic hoses while drilling holes.

•The Wi-Fi of the MAP Pilot has a range is 10 meters in perfect weather conditions.

2 The MAP Pilot System

MAP Pilot System Components

MAP Pilot –P/N MP-PMA02A

Fig. 1: The MAP Control Box (MAP Pilot)

The MAP Pilot acts as the brain of the autopilot

system. It is equipped with an INS, a solid-state

compass, and a GPS module to estimate the

heading and position of your vessel. The MAP

Pilot controls the steering pump based on the

desired route and sensory data of the vessel. It

connects to the control tablet or an Android

device via Wi-Fi.

The MAP Pilot has four external connectors for

its cable harnesses and the GPS antenna, and

two LED indicators, shown in Fig. 2. It also has

an Ethernet port, which can be used to connect

the MAP MFD. Refer to the sections that follow

for details on each component.

Fig. 2: MAP Pilot diagram

The MAP Pilot also consists of two LEDs. The

function of the status LED describes the status

of the MAP Pilot, as listed in Table 1. For

information on the mode LED, refer to Table 8

on page 28.

Fig. 3: Connecting to the MAP Pilot through Wi-Fi

The MAP Pilot is accompanied by the MAP

Application, which allows you to connect to the

autopilot, configure it, and plan and upload

routes. The application is available on the MAP

MFD, as well as on the Google Play Store. You can

connect the MAP Pilot to your phone through Wi-

Fi, allowing you to access the application’s

interface, as shown in Fig. 3.

MAP Pilot Data Harness –P/N MP-ECMA01S

The MAP Data Harness serves two functions on the MAP Pilot:

•It provides feedback from the rudder position sensor of your vessel.

•It allows you to configure the MAP Pilot through your device.

Fig. 4: MAP data harness

As shown in Fig. 4, the power cable

consists of 2 connector heads,

detailed in Table 2. For further

information on the wire pinouts of

the harness, refer to

MAP Pilot Power Harness –P/N MP-ECMA01P

The MAP Power Harness serves two functions:

•It provides 12-VDC input power to the MAP Pilot, through the Power In connector.

•It provides power to the steering pump of your vessel, through the Power Out connector.

Fig. 5: MAP Power Harness

As shown in Fig. 5, the power

cable consists of 2 connector

heads, detailed in Table 4.

MAP Pilot GPS Antenna –P/N MP-ECMA01G

The MAP GPS Antenna is a waterproof, weatherproof antenna that connects to the in-built GPS

module of the MAP Pilot unit. A female BNC connector is attached to the other end. For optimal

performance, it must be installed with a clear view of the sky.
