Plugin Manual Index - updates needed (work in progress)

[rgleason]

Autopilots

The autopilot plugins have had considerable improvements and should be moved up from Beta I believe.
Additionally these manuals should be updated and made current with new screenshots and descriptions to match.
I think there should be a new category for these plugins, perhaps called "Autopilot Utilities"

1. Autotrack_Raymarine Evo - Evo/n2k
2. Raymarine_Autopilot - Evo/n2k and RM/Seatalk1 via nmea0183 converter
3. Autopilot_Route Nmea0183
4. Pypilot_pi typically RaspberryPi but it is available for any OS, this autopilot controls and interfaces with Sean's "Pypilot Controller".
5. ShipDriver should be in this catagory too, though its purpose is different.
6. Any others?

Dashboards

I think we should have a new category for Dashboards that explains features (simply) for the user.

1. Dashboard [built-in, updated for signalK ]
2. Tactics [sailboat racing instruments, older, no signalK]
3. Dashboard_tactics [sailboat racing instruments with Dashboard, older, no signalK]
4. DashboardSK [new more versatile, nmea0183 using Nsk plugin or SignalK Server, n2k, signalK]

For boats with only basic legacy NMEA 0183 data available, the NSK_pi plugin provides conversion to the Signal K delta format allowing the user to use the DashboardSK plugin without the need to setup complex systems.

rgleason: I think an effort to move all the instruments into DashboardSK (including builtin Dashboard) and continue to refine DashboardSK features would pay big dividends. DashboardSK should become the central dashboard for OpenCPN, eventually the other plugins could be dropped.
