Route tracking allows you to set the boat to automatically navigate through each point on a route. If you control your autopilot by sending it NMEA data (*), it will steer the boat by following the successive legs from one point to the next.

- Tap or click on the first waypoint from which you want to start tracking.
- Select "Follow route, start here
Activating this feature displays a course deviation corridor, which you can define in Settings > My Boat > Cross-Track:
The cross-track corridor follows all points on the route:

- Select the Alarms section in the app’s Settings.
