Start i-Pilot Link Navigation
When i-Pilot Navigation is enabled, the i-Pilot Link becomes the steering source for navigating points, routes, iTracks, and contour
lines. See Configure i-PIlot Link with the Control Head: Enable i-Pilot Link Navigation.
WARNING! Watch for a turning propeller and be prepared for boat movement when working with each i-Pilot Link navigation
mode. The propeller will automatically turn on when i-Pilot Link navigation modes are engaged, even if the engagement is
accidental. A turning propeller can cause injury.
