FURUNO’s NAVpilot is a revolutionary autopilot with a sunlight viewable

display designed for a variety of vessels.

It utilizes a self-learning and adaptive software algorithm, and plays the

ultimate role in course keeping capability, dynamically adjusting

essential parameters for navigation i.e., vessel speed, trim,

draught, tide and wind effects, dead band, weather,

etc. These parameters are stored in the system

memory and continuously optimized.

FishHunter

FishHunter is a unique feature of FURUNO’s NAVpilot series. Find a sh target with your FURUNO sonar/sounder or

bird target with your FURUNO radar and feed it to the NAVpilot. The NAVpilot will activate the FishHunter to perform

square, zigzag, circle, orbit, spiral or gure eight maneuvers around the specied target at a user selected distance.

This feature can also be used for Man Overboard (MOB).

NAVpilot consistently maintains the desired heading,

but the vessel may drift off course due to the effects of

tide and wind.

NAVpilot consistently maintains the desired heading

while compensating for the effects of tide and wind.

NAVpilot consistently maintains the desired heading toward true or apparent

wind direction while compensating for the effects of tide and wind.

NAVpilot steers the vessel towards the current waypoint

while compensating for the effects of tide and wind.

When connected to a GPS Navigator, NAVpilot steers the vessel to follow a series of

waypoints in succession.

Upon arriving at each waypoint or destination, audible and visual alerts are activated.

Self-learning and adaptive software

From the rst dock-side setup through the last voyage you made, NAVpilot continues to learn your vessel's steering

characteristics. This allows dynamic adjustments to the boat's steering for vessel speed, trim, draft, tide and wind effects,

weather, etc. These characteristics are stored in the processor's memory where they are continuously optimized to make

the NAVpilot more versatile.

SAFE HELM and POWER ASSIST features provide

Efficient and Effective Helm Steering Control

The optional SAFE HELM and POWER ASSIST features* provide a unique interface to the vessel's

hydraulic hand steering system, providing unrivaled comfort and control of the vessel's steering

directly from any manual helm on the vessel. These two modes greatly reduce steering effort and

enhance the safety of your vessel's autopilot. * Required Options - HRP11 or HRP17 Pump and FPS8 Power Steering Module

New

The POWER ASSIST i n c o r p o r ates the SAFE HELM concept a n d p r o v i des

speed-based, power assisted steering, which greatly reduces manual helm effort in

maneuvering situations. POWER ASSIST is a unique helm-activated assisted steering

feature that can augment and possibly replace separate electric and power-robbing, engine-driven power steering systems on many

vessels. POWER ASSIST reduces steering system complexity and costs while increasing economy.

POWER ASSIST

The SAFE HELM temporarily switches the NAVpilot to manual steering for a specied

time interval, taking it out of an automatic steering mode (AUTO, NAV, etc.) After the

time interval has elapsed, SAFE HELM is deactivated and the previous automatic

steering mode is restored.

** Based on Furuno testing and "Scenarios for a Clean Energy Future 2000” - U.S.

Department of Energy (www.ornl.gov/sci/eere/cef)

* This mode is available for sailing craft only. Wind data input is required.

Furuno Fantum Feedback

Furuno's all-new "Fantum Feedback" NAVpilot software clears the path to a

simplied installation, while also delivering enhanced steering control. With

Fantum Feedback, NAVpilot outboard installations no longer require use of a

physical rudder feedback unit.

This streamlined installation, combined with Furuno's unique adaptive learning

Autopilot technology, provides unmatched outboard Autopilot performance.

Fantum Feedback is a menu-selectable feature available in the latest NAVpilot-700

series software. This new software was developed and extensively tested on a

wide variety of outboard vessels with hydraulic steering and reversing pump

control. Fantum Feedback achieves precise course control, from slow trolling

speeds to high-speed cruising, utilizing a newly developed, time-based rudder

gain process, rather than traditional rudder angle based control.
