The Auto pilot works by picking out a point of reference that you want to go to and then it will correct for the wind or current if it is taking you off line and bring you back on course. Without it you would just go in a general straight direction but would be at the mercy of the wind blow you off line.
That's not how mine works. On a windy day I find myself correcting to get to where I want to get to. It may be designed to do what you say but that isn't my experience.
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
