Navionics track

I calibrated the internal compass and then it worked as it should, I think. Spent quite a bit of time adjusting sensitivity setting. It felt like it was over-correcting but according the track above, it maintained a fairly straight course. The push rod kept falling off the tiller so will grind it down a bit so it fits better.
