But, I seem to recall that the Manual for LSH describes it about the same as it works in GWX with the Wilhelmshaven/St. Naz & etc. Schleuse MOD.

The entry point at Holtenau for the outbound Kanal "autopilot" is on the west side of the locks; you must be at or very near that point before asking the Navigator to plot the route. AFAIK, there isn't an "autopilot" for Wilhelmshaven or Stralsund.

In GWX, I have found that it seems to work better if you plot a course to the entry point when you're leaving the lock. Place a waypoint directly on the entry point and then ask the Navigator to plot the outbound "autopilot" course (same process for the inbound course when you return through Brunsbuettel).
