Track Waypoint
!
WARNING
In some Precision Pilot modes—"Auto Heading," "Track Waypoint," and "Waypoint Sequence"—the boat navigates a preset
course. The boat does not automatically respond to hazards such as other watercraft, obstacles, swimmers, or underwater
terrain. Collision with these hazards could cause boat damage, serious injury, or death. The operator must stay at the helm,
ready to evade hazards and warn others of course changes.
Track Waypoint allows the boat to automatically navigate to a specific waypoint or sequence of waypoints, called a waypoint route.
This feature is intended for use in open waters, free from obstructions above and below the waterline.
Using the example in the picture called Sample route:
• Waypoints are shown in numbered squares within the arrival circle (a dashed‑line circle around the numbered square).
• Waypoint 4 is too close to 3 to be used in the same route. Waypoints must be far enough apart that the arrival circles do not
intersect.
• A route, including waypoints 1, 2, and 3, is represented by the straight dashed‑line. The autopilot system will attempt to
navigate this route. It is the responsibility of the captain to make sure the route does not contain any hazards, and to keep
watch while underway.
