Waypoint arrival circle

As the next Waypoint warning occurs within a circle around the actual waypoint, the
next waypoint will probably be accepted some distance from the planned track leg.
This can result in a cross track error and associated course correction.
Refer to Track keeping & Cross Track Error on page 17 for more details.

Route completion

when you have reached the last waypoint of a route in Track mode, the Pilot Controller
displays a ROUTE COMPLETED message. You can either:
Press auto to continue on the same heading.
•
or
Press standby to return to manual control.
•
Note:
If waypoints are provided using an NMEA connection the controller will display NO DATA
when you reach the final waypoint.

2.3 Using Wind Vane mode

In Wind Vane mode, the SPX-5 Tiller system adjusts the locked heading, to maintain
the original wind angle as changes in the true or apparent wind angle occur. The
Fluxgate Compass provides the primary heading reference.
Note:
You can only select Wind Vane mode if the SPX-5 Tiller system is receiving suitable
SeaTalk or NMEA wind direction information (see below).
