One of the adjustments for an autopilot is to enter the latitude so that
this error can be corrected. If the mode is turned on, it may be able
to pick up the lat from the gps.

For example, see page 111 of:

How about:

1. You're heading north a lot - most fluxgate compasses get rather

sluggish

when heading northward and autopilot response suffers

Really? This is a new one to me, and at first flush I can't think of a
reason why this should be. Can you explain?


This is a simplified version.
