Again, there is no logic to this -- but what else is new?
A DG gives heading, a GPS gives track. Two very different things.
True. However, the illogic I was referring to is the incredible difference
in price between an autopilot that is slaved to a DG, versus an autopilot
that is connected to a GPS. The former is MUCH more difficult to achieve
than the latter, yet the GPS connection is much more expensive to buy.
This is due to demand, I suppose?
