2.2.4 Auto Positioning Mode
The position of the vessel is automatically kept on Set Position and the heading is automatically kept on the Set Heading.
The Set Position can be absolute map longitude/latitude coordinates (absolute position keeping) or relative coordinates
from for example, a platform (relative position keeping).
When entering this mode the Set Heading and Set Position are default set to the actual compass heading and actual
DGPS position.
