Waypoint arrival circle
As the next Waypoint warning occurs within a circle around the actual waypoint, the
next waypoint will probably be accepted some distance from the planned track leg.
This can result in a cross track error and associated course correction.
Refer to Track keeping & Cross Track Error on page 15 for more details.
Route completion
when you have reached the last waypoint of a route in Track mode, the Pilot Controller
displays a
ROUTE COMPLETE
message if you are using a SeaTalk chartplotter, or
NO
DATA
if you are using an NMEA chartplotter. You can either:
• Stay in Auto mode and continue on the same heading.
or
• Press
standby
to return to manual control.
Note: If waypoints are provided using an NMEA connection the controller will display NO DATA
when you reach the final waypoint.
