AUTO ok, TRACK seems to hunt

[Keith Pleas]

I also asked this on the Coastal Explorer forum and the response there was:
"It's all controlled by the auto pilot, not CE. When you activate a route on CE, CE just starts broadcasting the next waypoint info and the current cross track error. It's all up to the AP to decide what to do with that info. CE doesn't even know if the route is being followed or ignored.

Most APs have some way to adjust how aggressively it tries to stay on track."

Someone else replied that ComNav allows "can be set to steer by crosstrack to minimize the crosstrack error, set to steer to waypoint and ignore crosstrack error, or a combination of the two"

So...how do I tell the EVO not to aggressively make the XTE zero? I looked through the docs but didn't find anything. I did find this sentence in the P70 manual for LARGE XTE: "Reset XTE on the multifunction display" but there's no description anywhere of how to perform that.

With the new "autorouting" I would think this would become a huge issue. And it's not new - Ben Ellison had a long post about it back in 2011.
