second, restricts the quantity of rudder during the turns. The higher the value
is and the faster the turns are.
Please, lower the value at high speed.

The high versatility of the autopilot allows setting the desired course in a variety of
modes:

It just consists in orienting the vessel towards the desired target and
instructing the autopilot to assume the current bearing as the route to be done:
