a mile. The left hand character indicates if the error is to Port or
Starboard. This example shows 0.14 miles Port (left) of the track.

Navigator.
Before engaging the Pilot. CHECK the Cross Track
Error. The larger the error, the sharper the turn that
will be made when the Pilot is engaged. This could be
dangerous. The display cannot show errors greater than
99. Reduce the error by steering manually to bring the
vessel closer to the track.
