"Waypoint steering" mode in combination with GPS, chart plotter or equivalent
navigation system
Important Note:
The waypoint steering mode may be used on non--SOLAS vessels only. It must not be
used on vessels following SOLAS convention!
IMO has defined 2 different operating modes / systems for automatic steering:
-- Heading Control,
-- Track Control.
For both of these systems performance and test standards have been defined. Authorit-
ies / classification societies test against these standards and issue a corresponding cer-
tificate if the products are compliant to these standards.
