Cross Track Error (Xte); Navigating To A Waypoint Or Point Of Interest (Manual Steering) - Raymarine LIGHTHOUSE 4 Operation Instructions Manual

Cross Track Error (XTE)

Cross Track Error (XTE) occurs when your vessel is steered or drifts off its
intended course. The distance between your intended course and your
actual position is the Cross track error (XTE).
The [Off track] alarm can be used to warn you if your vessel reaches a
specified distance from your intended course. The Off track alarm can be
configured from the Alarms manager: [Homescreen > Alarms > Off track].
When a cross track error exists you can either steer your vessel back on to its
intended course or you can use the [Restart XTE] option to zero the XTE value
and use a new course from your current position as the intended course.
Select [Restart XTE] from the Navigation menu: [Menu > Navigation > Restart
XTE] to restart your XTE..
