Pass through many bridges but the only thing that causes my autopilot to
get crazy is when my cell phone is next to it. Curious about a handheld.
Will try that.

David,
I agree that autopilot does not mean sail blindly because the electronics
are working. When sailing to a waypoint, its nice to know that it SHOULD
be compensating for current, drift etc.

Truly. As I found out last year when passing through a bridge. Some magnetic
interference probably caused by cables crossing the channel caused my wheel
pilot to turn sharply to port. Had I not quickly disengaged it, it could have
been ugly.

To drill down a wee bit deeper vis a vis autopilots and interfaces. Call me a
Luddite, but I have never been a fan of plotters directly (or blindly) feeding
autopilots when there are strong variables (wind, current, etc) involved. I
like to be the interface so I know what is going on in case
