Tidal Stream Compensation

Under most conditions, Track mode will hold the selected track to
within ±0.05nm (300ft) or better.
The autopilot takes account of vessel speed when computing course
changes to ensure optimum performance over a wide range of vessel
speeds. If speed data is available, the autopilot uses the measured
vessel speed. Otherwise, the Speed Over Ground (SOG) or specified
cruise speed is used, depending on the calibration setting (see
"Dealer Setup" in Chapter 5).

Waypoint Arrival and Advance

If your navigation receiver transmits valid NMEA waypoint number
and bearing to waypoint data, it is possible to advance from one
waypoint to the next by simply pressing TRACK.

Arrival

As the vessel passes the target waypoint, the navigation receiver
should select (manually or automatically) the next target waypoint.
The autopilot detects the new target waypoint number, sounds the
Waypoint Advance alarm and displays the Waypoint Advance
information. This display shows the new bearing to waypoint and
the direction the boat will turn to acquire the new track.
To accept the new target waypoint, press TRACK.
