The mention of not waching where you are going reminds me of a fishing trip with my 4 yr old little girl, I started out at the mouth of the alsea bay and brang up my GPS Route to roughly 10 miles up river(Cozy Cove) then engaged the TR-1 into GPS track, We picked up a few fish, and many snags, after 6 miles I suddenly thought to myself when was the last time I looked forward to see where I was going. Guess what? I could not awnser my own question.( I got a serious goose bump feeling) It is so relaxing to not have to run the tiller, I now make it a point to look up once in awile. Perhaps some day we will be able to look out for you, but for now you got to do it. as for thick crouds I agree, there is to much going on, to not have that tiller in your hand. unless all the boats around were all pointed in the same direction running TR-1 autopilots.

Love the input.
