Turn pattern steering The autopilot includes a number of automatic turn steering features when the autopilot is in AUTO mode. Ú Note: Turn pattern steering for outboard motors uses heading information only, while turn pattern steering for the trolling motor uses both GPS and heading information.

Stopping the turn You can stop the turn from within the turn dialog.
