"Hi Zeljko and Darius,Just curious how it's going. Did you guys figure it out how to implement the mode Zeljko described? Here's the mode I have thought for boats (maybe useful for rovers also) but Zeljko's mode is pretty close though:- automatic…"

"Hi Zeljko,I could not agree more with your feature request. I just added it to the Arduboat feature wish list and defined it this way:- automatic navigation is done according to compass reading (not by GPS)- automatic navigation can be overrun by…"
