Chapter 2: Using the RayPilot 650

2.3 Navigation (Track) mode

Navigation mode relies on the input of your waypoint or route of
waypoints to provide tracking to destinations. Navigation mode is the
ultimate autopilot facility. Set up a waypoint or route of waypoints on
your navigation aid and the pilot will now monitor cross track error
and automatically execute course changes to maintain the boat's
heading towards the target waypoint.
We have developed this combination with safety utmost in mind.
When you reach your target waypoint, the RayPilot 650 will sound an
alarm and display the bearing to the next waypoint along with the
direction in which the boat will turn. You then check to see the turn
can be made safely. Now press the NAV key to turn the boat on course
for the next waypoint. This assures that no sudden course changes are
made without your knowledge.
