It is only making rudder job. The unit is put on the engine's rudder and turns the rudder and the steering wheel is also turning simultaneously while the boat is moving off from desired compass angle. There is also "seatalk" option connects the autopilot to radar/gps display so I created waypoints and routes autopilot cruises them.
Below specification written in raymarine site.

Always.
I saved all places where I anchor and where summer/winter marinas always select the waypoint name then pres to the "go to" and it goes automatically. I could follow the desired waypoint on screen about how much distance to go how much time remained rudder deviation correction steering etc..
Since my boat is single engine it could deviate where I'm going and in winter the campers resists wind again deviation. I set the rudder sensivitiy 8 over 9 so a tight course for time and fuel economy.
It is perfect at nights and fogs, you use your eyes only seeing outside to pay attention to avoid collision. Also at idle or no wake zone speeds while fishing and trolling.
