doug kimmerly - Last year when following a trac...
Last year when following a track on my autopilot I would get a pop up on my watch about Waypoint reached. Clicking on it would advance the waypoint and turn the boat towards the next one. This year (after many upgrades SK, Raymarine, wilhelmsk) I no longer get that and can't seem to advance the waypoint from Wilhelmsk. What is needed to be in place for that to work, I think I've got everything set up properly.

Should just need the autopilot plugin installed and working. Do other autopilot commands work? Adjust heading etc. ?
There were a bunch of Raymarine updates since last year which could have broken something. I also updated, but have not been out yet. Heading out tomorrow for my first trip, so I’ll test…
I found the problem "i think" I was not authenticated to the connection so didn't have permission to send commands. I had never tried to test it at anchor before so never took the time to figure it out. Always just tried while sailing and there's always a lot going on when you're sailing so just knew it didn't work like last year. So yes now that I've put the user name and password in the wilhelmsk connection I can send commands to the auto pilot. We'll be sailing again on the weekend and I'll get a chance to confirm it then. Thanks once again for your responses, you always lead me directly to the solution.
We have been sailing today following a track and no luck on the advance waypoint option. All the autopilot controls work from my watch and phone but when the waypoint is reached it only shows on the chart plotters. I’m fairly sure last year my watch would buzz and a pop up button would show to turn the boat to the next waypoint. Is that still supposed to work that way? Or do I still have something not set up right.
Today I was able to get it partly working. I was missing the alarm silencer plug in so I installed that and now from the alarm on my phone I can steer to the next waypoint. It still doesn’t work on my watch yet. That was our last sail of the season hopefully I’ll get it working next year. I really loved that feature:))
