Note: If you set AUTOADAPT to nth or Sth, you then need to enter your
current latitude in the next screen (
LATITUDE), so that the autopilot
can provide accurate course keeping by automatically adjusting the
rudder gain depending on the heading.

Latitude

The ST6001+ only displays this screen if you have set AutoAdapt to
nth or Sth. Use the -1,+1, -10 and +10 keys to set the value to your
boat’s current latitude, to the nearest degree.

Note: If valid latitude data is available via SeaTalk or NMEA, the
autopilot will use this data instead of the calibration value.

WindTrim (wind response)

Note: Only available if vessel type = DISPLACEMENT.

WindTrim (wind response) controls how quickly the autopilot
responds to changes in the wind direction.

AutoTack angle

Note: Only available if vessel type = DISPLACEMENT.

The AutoTack angle is the angle through which the boat will turn
when you select an automatic tack (see page 12).
