Autopilot Data; Features Available With Autopilot Connection - Furuno GD-3300 Operator's Manual

8.1 Features Available with Autopilot Connection

With autopilot connection, you can display various autopilot infor-
mation on the display. This chapter describes what information you
receive with autopilot connection.
The following features are available with autopilot (for example,
FURUNO FAP-330) connection:
• The FAP-330 feeds autopilot information to the GD/GP-3300 for
display on the plot and video pilot displays.
• In the AUTO mode the FAP-330 automatically controls rudder
movement in order to steer the vessel on a set course, thereby ne-
gating the effects of wind and current.
• When you restart the NAV mode when navigating a route, a line is
drawn between restart point and next intermediate route waypoint.
See Figure 8-1.
• The autopilot display can be turned on or off on the INITIAL SET-
TINGS menu.
