I have read the GNS430W manual and didn't see anything about positive course
guidance around a hold. I may have skipped a few words.

My autopilot, S-Tec 55, won't do more than a 90% standard rate turn, and
that is only in the high-gain capture mode. If you make the predefined
oval large enough so that such a turn will get you rolled out on the
inbound course in the presence of a stiff xwind from either side, I
suppose you can make it work. For published holds, the containment
airspace is already defined, and may be constrained in some areas due to
adjacent airspace and ATC considerations.


Restraintt of holding patterns for ATC purposes is very limited, the most
common being using 210 knots in place of 230 knot patterns.
