Navigating

The navigation function included in the system allows you to
navigate to the cursor position, to a waypoint, or along a predefined
route.
If autopilot functionality is included in your system, the autopilot
can be set to automatically navigate the vessel.
For information about positioning waypoints and creating routes,
refer to "Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks" on page 19.

Navigate to cursor position

You can start navigating to a cursor position on any chart, or
Echosounder panel.
Position the cursor at the selected destination on the panel, and
then select the Goto Cursor option in the menu.
Note: The Goto Cursor menu option is not available if you
Ú
are already navigating.

Navigate a route

You can start navigating a route from the chart panel or from the
Route dialog.
When route navigation is started, the menu expands and shows
options for canceling the navigation, for skipping a waypoint, and
for restarting the route from current vessel position.

Navigating with the autopilot

When you start navigation on a system with autopilot functionality,
you are prompted to set the autopilot to navigation mode.
If you choose not to engage the autopilot, the autopilot can be set
to navigation mode from the Autopilot Controller later on.
For more information about autopilot functionality, refer to "Autopilot"
on page 26.
