The Tillermate has no automatic features of any kind and will only hold the tiller in the position that you set. It is therefore not suitable for course guidance in the way that an expensive electronic unit is. Tillermate is not able to hold a set course or a compass bearing. It is not an auto-pilot. What it will do is hold the tiller in a set position for you while you consult the chart or plot your position and decide on your new heading.
