Yes exactly, most will share freely their code and tips

Wow Harrison,

Do you have a site/forum where you're sharing your idea's?

All the best.

No. It's been more of a hobby project, AND, I haven't even put it on the boat yet. I've been working on it (not fulltime) for a couple of years now. I'm doing it in 2 phases. First phase is "autopiloting" a compass course. I'm in Colorado and most lakes here are small enough that a simple compass heading would do the trick. Add to that it's just a first step to make sure the main logistics of the damn thing works! Phase 2 will be GPS driven. This all came to be as we frequent Catalina Island annually, and it would be nice to sit back and relax a bit.

Oh OK .... Good luck with that .... Just a basic compass bearing (course lock) sounds good to me too
