You'll probably get as many suggestions as there are members on this forum. Here's mine:
Since I sail too, I preferred in the past to have the GPS drive the autopilot directly based on waypoints and routes downloaded from my Mac (using both GPSNavXâ„¢ and MacENCâ„¢). This allowed me to tuck my Mac safely away when beating to weather.
Last year, I installed a ShipModul Miniplex 42USB (wish it were a Bluetooth unit though). This automatically switches modes when the Mac is plugged in. I still download the waypoints and routes to the GPS but can now drive the autopilot from either the GPS or Mac.
