Item Description Settings
[NAV MODE] Your vessel may go off course when navigating
between waypoints in the NAV mode. This can
happen when, for example, a command is
received from a remote controller. To get you
back on course, three methods are available:
[COURSE] and [XTE (PRECISION)], [XTE
(ECONOMY)]. For [COURSE], the NAVpilot
calculates a new course based on your new
position after dodging, etc. that takes you
directly to your destination waypoint. [XTE
PRECISION] and [XTE ECONOMY] both use
the XTE (cross-track error) value to steer the
boat towards your ORIGINAL course before
dodging. PRECISION provides for more pre-
cise steering than ECONOMY.
Note: [COURSE] is not shown in case of Fan-
tum Feedback

[COURSE], [XTE(PRECI-
SION)], [XTE(ECONOMY)]
[NAV DATA
SOURCE]
Select the source of nav data to use in the NAV
mode. See the procedure on the next page.
[WAYPOINT
SWITCHING]
When you arrive at a waypoint on a route in the
NAV mode, you can switch to the next way-
point automatically or manually.
The [AUTO] setting will automatically switch to
the next destination waypoint when your boat
is within the arrival alarm area (set on the
chartplotter).
The [MANUAL] setting requires operator con-
firmation (pushing the knob) before switching
to the next waypoint.
[AUTO], [MANUAL],
[AFTER
ARRIVAL]
Set how the boat is to be steered after arriving
at the last waypoint in a route, in the NAV
mode. This function is not available when boat
