Figure 6: Passing A Waypoint - NorthStar 961 Reference Manual

961/962 Operations and Reference Manual, Rev. A
You may prefer manual switching for critical situations when
trying to locate a buoy in dense fog, or maneuvering around a
waypoint trying to find a lobster trap, and so on. Why? Manual
switching lets you continually display distance and bearing
information for the nearby waypoint—even if you've passed
it—until you're ready to manually advance to the next
waypoint. This feature gives you time to maneuver precisely to
a waypoint before calculations to the next waypoint begin.
Each time you arrive at an active waypoint, however, you must
manually change to the next waypoint: Advancing to the next
waypoint, however, is as simple as pressing the TRIP key,
selecting the future waypoint, pressing the GO TO
SELECTION key, and pressing the GO DIRECT key.
When set to automatic switching, however, new distance and
bearing information for the next waypoint is displayed right
upon passing the previous one.
To advance waypoints either manually or automatically:
1. At the NAVIGATION SETUP screen, press the CURSOR
PAD to highlight the WAYPT SWITCHING option, then
press the EDIT key.
2. Press the CURSOR PAD left or right or press the LEFT
ARROW or RIGHT ARROW keys to select either AUTO or
MAN (for manual).
