Auto pilot not following route!

[Big Moe]

I have followed your instructions to the T and still am having issues. First off, if I set up a route and do not want to utilize it right out of port how do I set up my plotter to get on the course. My boat wants to do a "Crazy Ivan" and turn 180 degrees and go back to the stable.

When I did get it to track on course "once" it wants to swing my boat about 20 degrees to port looking for a starboard way point. It makes a giant sweeper turn.

What does XTE do and how and when do I start it.

I need a step by step set of instructions on how to get on my "already setup route". I am using my new Auto Route function.

All my systems are updated and working properly. I have a new GS-165 at the helm and an E-95 down at the chart table.

Thanks Big Moe
