He didn't stay on course, but was blown off course by a storm. The Mayflower was to land in Virginia but ended up in Massachusetts. The ships of the time used a astrolabe, compass, and there is a strong ocean current that runs from Europe to the east coast of the United States. Once a ship gets into that current it will virtually carry the ship to the North American coast.
