based on time or distance.
Turn Transition Time: Sets how many minutes before the turn
that you transition to it as the next leg, when Time is selected
for the Turn Transition Activ. setting. You can raise this value
to help improve the accuracy of the autopilot when navigating
a route or an Auto Guidance path with many frequent turns or
at higher speeds. For straighter routes or slower speeds,
lowering this value can improve autopilot accuracy.
Turn Transition Dist.: Sets how far before the turn that you
transition to it as the next leg, when Distance is selected for
the Turn Transition Activ. setting. You can raise this value to
help improve the accuracy of the autopilot when navigating a
route or an Auto Guidance path with many frequent turns or
at higher speeds. For straighter routes or slower speeds,
lowering this value can improve autopilot accuracy.

• If the devices are not mounted near each other, obtain a
User Data Sharing Cable (010-12234-06), and connect
the devices following the instructions included with the
cable (User Data Sharing Cable Wiring Diagram,
page 37).
