Quite possibly. There are a couple of possibilities depending on the capability of your auto pilot. Just like the FAQ above, we send out a universal way-point message which may be interpreted by the auto pilot as a course to steer WARNING: Be careful with this. If the engine is not shut down automatically or by someone onboard, then if you fall overboard, you risk being run over by your own boat. The second option involves using the relay output to trigger a head to wind or tack command. Once again, the capability of the auto pilot will determine the possibilities.
