1, Turn 2, and so on) or by waypoint name, or whether the description of turns is hidden.
turn transition—set how much time or how far before a turn in a route that you transition to the 

next leg. Raising this value can help improve the accuracy of the autopilot when navigating a route

slower speeds, lowering this value can improve autopilot accuracy.

Economy to toggle between Water (from a water-speed sensor) and GPS (from the calculated GPS 

speed).
