I’ve setup a Route and am navigating it with auto-pilot. Two questions:
1. occasionally, I need to put auto-pilot on standby to avoid a lobster pot or another boat. After I avoid the obstacle, there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to re-engage the auto-pilot on the Route. The only way is can see to do this is to click Where To, then Routes & Auto Guidance, the select the Route, then select Review, then select Navigate to, then when it asks Engage the Autopilot, select Engage. That’s a lot of steps. Is there a short-cut to re-engage the Route?
2. when I do the above, it makes an aggressive turn - 45-60 degrees - to immediately get back on the Route, rather than smoothly and gradually return to the Route. Is there any way to smooth this out? I find myself needing to manually steer until I’m exactly back on the Route, and then quickly execute all the above-mentioned steps to avoid a severe runoff the helm.
Thoughts?
