Waypoint advance warning
The autopilot activates the Waypoint Advance
warning in track mode whenever the target waypoint
name changes. This occurs when:
• you select automatic acquisition by pressing Track
from Auto.
• you request waypoint advance by pressing
Track for 1 second in track mode (with SeaTalk
navigators only).
• the boat arrives at the target and the navigator
accepts the next waypoint.
• you activate the Man Overboard (MOB) function.
When the warning sounds, the autopilot continues
on its current heading but displays:
• the bearing to the next waypoint.
• the direction the boat will turn to take up that
bearing.
Arriving at a waypoint
As you approach each waypoint, an alarm sounds
and a warning is displayed:
When the waypoint arrival warning is displayed:
1. Check that it is safe to turn onto the new heading.
2. If it is NOT safe or you do not want to advance
to the next waypoint you can:
i. Select CANCEL or Auto to remain on the
same heading, or
ii. Select Standby to return to manual steering.
3. If it is safe select TRACK to accept the new
heading and proceed to the next waypoint.
