Neither, you aimed the boat and pushed the button. You could change directions by 1? or 10? increments and it would hold that course, whatever it was.
That was 20 some years ago. Have no clue what they would be worth, but I sure wouldn't put it on a planeing hull boat. It was designed more for slower (under 15 mph) boats.
