Looking at the chart doesn't drive an autopilot . . .

I usually use the heading bug. Otherwise the autopilot brackets too much.

Maybe have it automatically appear a couple of minutes before the time to turn.

Good idea; gives you a heads up.

My 430 does exactly that; it anticipates the turn and tells you (and the autopilot) to "TURN NOW" before you cross the waypoint such that a standard rate no wind turn will roll you out on the new course line.

I thought an ETT timer could hit zero, flash "Turn" a few times, and then start counting down to the next waypoint.
