Sounds like you have a Cessna 300A.

A Century 31. It's a good autopilot and flies smoothly even with
a fair amount of turbulence, and holds altitude to within a few feet.
But its nav following isn't great. I think it could be fixed with
some tweaking, but I've given the avionics shop enough of
my money as it is, and it isn't a practical problem.

I agree that this is a great technique. In fact I never use NAV mode on
my autopilot, I just tweak the heading until the track matches what it
should
be (and keep an eye on it obviously). Much better than the autopilot
zigzagging its way down the airways.
