RE: Fluxgat Compass vs. Autopilot vs. Chart-plotter
Welcome to the Raymarine Forum David,

Q1. Why wouldn't the GPS tracking towards a waypoint not take precedents!?
A1. Raymarine autopilots, as well as most third party autopilots, are designed to steer based upon heading data from a magnetic north seeking compass, not from COG data.

Q2. What if the compass failed in some way, would the chart-plotter and auto-helm still function!?
A2. Negative.
