Track Waypoint

Avoid serious injury or death. Inattentive boat operation can result in a collision with other watercraft, obstacles, swimmers, or
underwater terrain. The autopilot navigates a preset course, and does not automatically respond to hazards in the vicinity of
the boat. The operator must stay at the helm, ready to evade hazards and warn passengers of course changes.
Track waypoint allows the boat to automatically navigate to a specific waypoint or sequence of waypoints, called a waypoint
route. This feature is intended for use in open waters, free from obstructions above and below the waterline. Both engines must
be running and in gear to operate in autopilot modes
The following illustration is an example of a waypoint route.
Waypoints are shown in numbered squares within the arrival circle (a dashed‑line circle around the numbered square).
A hazard is present between waypoints 1 and 2. If these waypoints are used for the route, the autopilot will attempt to
navigate through the hazard. It is the captain's responsibility to select waypoints that avoid all hazards.
Waypoint 4 is too close to 3 to be used in the same route. Waypoints must be far enough apart that the arrival circles do
not intersect.
