Default one more reason...

...to not use your autopilot interfaced with the GPS while going under a bridge (or ever).

It seems that the three step sequence for turning off the below decks wheel pilot on this boat was too much to handle in the 'heat of the moment'.

Boat was going 6+ knots under engine power.
