Profiles - Navman G-PILOT 3380 Operation Manual

• For higher boat speeds and large GPS
routes, decrease GPS gain; for lower speeds
and tight GPS routes, increase GPS gain.
• For higher and/or more stable winds,
increase wind gain; for lower and/or
unstable winds, decrease wind gain.
Ideally, in AUTO the G-PILOT should steer the
boat to the course without the rudder moving
too often.

Profiles

The G-PILOT provides five configurable
steering profiles that can be quickly recalled
to alter the G-PILOT's performance based
on changing sea, environmental and vessel
conditions.
• To change a profile go to: Menu > Setup >
Profiles > Profile menu.
Each of the five profiles can be individually
named and configured with different steering
performance settings, and recalled as needed.
To name the currently selected profile, go to
Menu > Setup > Profiles > Edit name then:
• Use the Control Dial,
the name of the profile.
• Rotate the Control Dial to select numerical
and upper and lower case alphabetical
characters. Maximum number of
alphanumeric characters is 8.
• Repeatedly press
Note: When using more than one G-PILOT 3380,
profile names are not transferred between
units. So when naming profiles, be sure to
name the profile on each G-PILOT 3380.

How to use profiles:
1. When the G-PILOT is installed, the steering
parameters in all the profiles are set to their
default values.
2. Select User 1, and adjust the steering
parameters for optimum steering in typical
conditions.
3. If the conditions change and the steering is
no longer optimum, select another profile
and adjust the steering parameters again
Repeat this step as required to adjust the
parameters in each profile.
4. When using the G-PILOT to steer, select a
profile suitable for the current conditions.
For example different profiles can be
configured for rough conditions and calm
conditions, sailing or motoring.
