Change the position in anchor mode
Use the arrow buttons to reposition the vessel when in anchor mode. Each press on a button
will move the anchor position 1.5 m (5 ft) in the selected direction.
Heading lock mode
In this mode the autopilot steers the vessel on the set heading.
When the mode is activated, the autopilot selects the current compass heading as the set
heading.
Ú Note:
In this mode the autopilot does not compensate for any drifting caused by current
and/or wind (W).
To change the set heading
• Select a port or starboard button
• With the autopilot controller active, turn the rotary knob
An immediate heading change takes place. The heading is maintained until a new heading is
set.
NAV mode
Warning:
NAV mode should only be used in open waters.
Prior to entering NAV mode you must be navigating a route or towards a waypoint.
In NAV mode the autopilot automatically steers the vessel to a specific waypoint location, or
along a pre-defined route. Position information is used to change the course to steer to keep
the vessel on the track line and to the destination waypoint.
When arriving at the destination, the autopilot switches to the selected arrival mode. It is
important to select an arrival mode that fits your navigation needs before NAV mode is
activated. Refer to "Arrival mode" on page 110.
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.
Turn pattern steering
The system includes a number of automatic turn steering features.
When a turn pattern is activated, the system creates temporary waypoints on the turn.
The last waypoint on the turn is the final waypoint. When the vessel reaches the final
waypoint, the vessel goes into arrival mode. Refer to "Arrival mode" on page 110.
Starting a turn
