28.5 Automatic Route Steering
In automatic route steering you can use either the Go to Waypoint mode or the Go to Track mode. Automatic route
steering can be used with a predefined monitored route.
Go to WP and Go to Track modes can be activated when your ship is located inside a channel of a monitored route.
See the figure below for description of difference between “Go to WP” and “Go to Track”. As shown, the ship will
always make way toward the waypoint in Go to WP, and return to course set in Go to Track.

Note: If the off track error is more than 100 meters in the “Go to Track” mode, the system cannot increase the
approach angle towards the center line of the route.
