Suggested ACU-200 / EV-1 / p70Rs Software Enhancement

[chartertom]

This thread is being written to suggest a future update to ACU-200 / EV-1 / p70Rs software to include changing "Auto" setting such that it maintains course over ground instead of maintaining heading.

The objective is to allow autopilot to make course changes to compensate for tidal streams and leeway similar to "Track Mode" without having to having to navigate to a waypoint.

An alternate would be to create another mode such as "Heading Mode" with tis feature.

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Tom,

Thanks for the feature request. As Auto Mode steers to a locked heading and is essentially the "heading mode" which you have referenced, it would seem that you are seeking a COG mode as a quick way to steer on a locked COG. A feature request will be logged accordingly.
