I don't use way points. I steer the autopilot two ways:


1. I use the heading projection arrow to line it up where I want to go.


2. For longer legs where the projection arrow is too short, I advance the pointer to where I want to end up. Then I read the bearing from the ship to that point. I then set the autopilot's course to match up with that bearing. As I get closer I go back to #1 to fine tune it.
