Some time ago, I was successfully able to follow a route:

The loop where I disengaged the route was because I started sailing from that point.
Still have some issues, usually I have to enable a route two times before it will actually steer to it.
When motoring out of the harbor I usually want to engage the AP as soon as possible so I can walk around the deck, but engaging isn't always that straight forward. So, what I usually do is enabling the route when still at the dock (because then I have time and concentration enough to right click on the route and enable) and when out of the harbor I open Pypilot's webapp enabling the GPS autopilot. All the while OpenCPN is on and should follow the route, but somehow I always have to disable and enable again which can be a hassle when there is a lot of ship traffic and waves and handling the sails etc.
Will keep trying... but suggestions are welcome.
