Navigating to TLL point (FISHING mode)

When TLL (Target Latitude and Longitude) data is input from a radar or echo
sounder connected in the STBY, AUTO or NAV mode, the "FISHING MODE"
window appears. Then, you may choose how to progress towards that position,
from ORBIT (clockwise, counterclockwise) or CLOVER LEAF. (You may also
continue current steering mode, by choosing OFF.) For this mode, own ship's
position L/L data and waypoint L/L data are required. For details, see pages 3-6
and 3-7.
ORBIT
The boat makes circles around the TLL point. The orbital radius is set on the
menu. "ORBT" appears on the display when using the ORBIT mode.
CLOVER LEAF
The boat automatically returns to the TLL position when it goes more than a
distance (set on menu) away from the TLL position. The indication "CLVR"
appears on the display when the CLOVER LEAF mode is in use.
