After the latest TT update to fix the disintegrating display problem, I began to notice Chelton TT AP discrepancies. I don't use the AP on many short flights so recently have noticed that the AP always wants to "hunt" right. I have the Digiflite II VSGV on a gang switch which switches GPS inputs and activates the TT for Arinc A/B inputs. The selector reads AP standalone with Crossbow GPS input, Chelton Arinc A/B input with crossbow for GPS, or GPS only from the GRT Sport backup. The main discrepancy on the display is that the GPS track on the Cheltons (green diamond) and the GPS track on the GRT Sport (two independent GPSs) agree. Somehow the GPS track as passed to the AP always displays about 10 degrees "right" of the GPS track on the Chelton and the Sport. In summary the GPS tracks on the Chelton and GRT displays agree but the GPS track as shown on the TT AP always shows about 10 degrees right. I believe this causes the AP hunting. Any thoughts.

It's because of where you live....and how you have it wired to the GPS. The signal you're sending it isn't corrected for magnetic variation the way you have it wired.

my understanding is that the GPS track is always magnetic track. My GRT is set to display ground track and the Chelton green diamond displays ground track which both should be magnetic. Yet the GRT display and Chelton green diamond always agree; just the TT AP display does not agree when Chelton GPS outputs to TT. It may be user error but I have not found it yet.
