Is the alignment difference due to wind and current? Is it the boat icon might be at an angle ( such as 3 deg difference) to stay to keep the boat on track? Not sure if this is your issue.

Did this suddenly start happening? The first step is to go into the menu on the autopilot and run through the Wizards, both dockside and on water. That will most likely correct your issue. It could otherwise be a wrong menu selection regarding the source for the boat heading, or something else like magnetic interference or a bad reactor compass. If you need help navigating the Wizards, you can call the Garmin 800 number and a tech will walk you through all the steps while you're at the boat (M-F only). Let us know if the Wizards help.

Your heading sensor needs to be re-calibrated. It's part of the Autopilot configuration.
