Active or stand-by autopilot status is shown in the top
part of the screen. A green arrow in the top right corner
of the screen confirms activation; if the autopilot is put
in stand-by mode the arrow turns red and flashes for
five seconds.
The set course is shown on the display digitally and by
means of a course indicator in the form of a blue trian-
gle.
ENGAGE — Activates the autopilot.
MENU — Goes to the main menu.
STBY
ROUTE — Activates the autopilot to follow a route
on the plotter. This alternative is only shown if a GPS
is connected and a route or waypoint has been cre-
ated in the plotter. The display shows the distance
to the next waypoint along the plotted route. Refer
to GPS Steering for further information and settings.
Setting a course
The boat's course is set by means of the arrow buttons,
<<10° <1° 1°> 10°>>
course 1° at a time; if the button is held down longer
the course is changed in larger steps. A yellow arrow
shows the new course the boat will be set on. Step size
can be adjusted under the Settings > Navigation set-
tings> Step size menu.
NOTICE! The course shown in the autopilot may devi-
ate from the course shown in a GPS/plotter. This is
because the autopilot shows boat heading, i.e. it does
not take leeway or drift into consideration. On the other
hand, the plotter shows the boats actual track.
