The autopilot can steer the boat along a route defined by your GPS device, or in preset patterns based on a GPS location (waypoint). To use GPS steering, you must have a compatible GPS device connected to the autopilot using NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183. For more information on connecting a compatible GPS device, see the autopilot installation instructions. GPS steering patterns are based on a GPS waypoint to which you are actively navigating using your optional GPS device. This waypoint is called the active waypoint. 8 GHC 10 Owner's Manual

CaUTION
You are responsible for the safe operation of your boat. Do not begin a GPS
pattern until you are certain that the water is clear of obstacles.
The autopilot can steer the boat along a route defined by your GPS device,
or in preset patterns based on a GPS location (waypoint). To use GPS
steering, you must have a compatible GPS device connected to the autopilot
using NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183. For more information on connecting a
compatible GPS device, see the autopilot installation instructions.
GPS steering patterns are based on a GPS waypoint to which you are
actively navigating using your optional GPS device. This waypoint is called
the active waypoint.
