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.
When the Track Waypoint feature is activated and the boat is in operation:
• The helm must never be unattended. The feature is not designed to allow unattended
operation of the vessel.
• The operator must remain at the helm at all times.
