I have a D100 and an IFLy720 gps driving my autopilot.  when I get to a waypoint, and make a turn to the next waypoint, it always overshoots, and corrects back on course (see the photo).  Is there any way to correct this in the autopilot settings? Like turn anticipation....

Your EFIS-D100 is following the flight plan data being sent to it by the GPS. Turn anticipation is a feature of the GPS, not the AP (EFIS-D100).

Basically, the waypoints / turns are being sent to the EFIS-D100/AP AS the aircraft reached each waypoint / turn, and obviously the aircraft can't turn instantaneously, so it overshoots and corrects.

For example, the Garmin 430W does send turn anticipation commands over the ARINC-429 interface (in the EFIS-D100, that's provided by the optional HS34 HSI Control Panel).

ok, thanks. just wanted to make sure there was nothing I could do. Other than shell out the $$ for a 430 of course! It doesn't bother me that much.... :) :)
