18 ST1000 Plus & ST2000 Plus Tiller Pilots - Owner’s Handbook
2 Using the Tiller Pilot
The tiller pilot displays the cross track error in the following ways:
Tidal stream compensation
Under most operating conditions, Track mode will hold the selected
track to within ±0.05 nm (300 ft) or better.
The autopilot takes account of the boat’s speed when computing
course changes to ensure optimum performance over a wide range of
boat speeds. If speed data is available, the autopilot will use the
measured boat speed. Otherwise it will use the default cruise speed
entered in Calibration Level 5 (see page 64).
