NAV mode options
While in NAV mode the following buttons are available in the autopilot controller:
Restart
Restarts the navigation from the vessel's current position.
Skip
Skips the active waypoint and steers towards the next waypoint. This option is only available
when navigating a route with more than one waypoint between the vessel position and the
end of the route.
Cancel
Cancels active navigation and deselects the current route or waypoint navigation. The
autopilot is switched to heading hold mode, steering the vessel on the heading that was
active when the cancel button was selected.
Ú Note:
This is different from selecting standby which does not stop current navigation.
Turning in NAV mode
When the vessel reaches a waypoint, the autopilot will give an audible warning and display a
dialog with the new course information.
There is a limit for the allowed automatic course change to next waypoint in a route:
• If the required course change to the next waypoint is less than the course change limit,
the autopilot will automatically change the course
• If the required course change to next waypoint is more than the set limit, you are
prompted to verify that the upcoming course change is acceptable. If the turn is not
accepted, the vessel will continue with the current set heading.
The course change limit setting depends on the autopilot computer. Refer to the autopilot
computer documentation.
Turn patterns
The system includes a number of turn patterns, available when the autopilot is in auto mode.
The number of turn patterns depend on autopilot computer.
Ú Note:
Turn patterns are not available if the boat type is set to sail.
To start a turn
• Select the port or starboard button
Turn variables
All turn patterns, except the U-turn, have settings that you can adjust before you start a turn,
or at any time when the boat is in a turn.
U-turn
Changes the current set heading by 180°. When activated, the autopilot is switched to Auto
mode.
