Thank you for your efforts Ironman, I have read your documentation of APR... for me, it is over my head.
I always loved the idea of the AutoPilotRoute plugin, I am happy to hear there have been some updates! I am very excited to try it again in the spring.
I wonder if you could provide some instructions/hints to help me set it up for my needs, basically I want to use it to follow a route and hit way points as close as possible.. Say inside 10m circle? And then steer toward the "centre" of the next waypoint. It is important for my use that it does not follow parallel to the route but on the route, and it does not steer to the next way point until it has arrived at the current waypoint
I use pypilot for fishing, we troll at 2 mph - 3mph, but there are often nets we need to navigate around. Once I have a path through the nets, I would like to create a route and follow it over and over again. So it is important that the boat not cut corners, especially when turning around the end of a net.
