Active or stand-by autopilot status is shown in the top
part of the screen. A green arrow in the top right corner
of the screen confirms activation; if the autopilot is put

means of a course indicator in the form of a blue
triangle.

created in the plotter. The display shows the

and settings.
Setting a course
The boat's course is set by means of the arrow buttons,
<<10° <1° 1°> 10°>>
course 1° at a time; if the button is held down longer

shows the new course the boat will be set on. Step size
can be adjusted under the Settings > Navigation
settings> Step size menu.
