Cruise speed
Set the cruise speed to the boat’s typical cruising speed. If both the boat’s speed
throu gh the water and speed o ver ground are unavailable via SeaT alk or NMEA,
the SmartPilot will use this default cruise speed when calculating course changes.
AutoAdapt

caused by the increasing dip of the earth’ s magnetic field. at higher latitudes. This
increased dip has the effect of amplifying rudder response on northerly headings
