Cross Track Error
Cross track error (XTE) is the distance between the current position
and a planned route. This is displayed in nautical miles (nm), statute
miles (SM) or kilometres, and is taken directly from your navigator.
The Large Cross Track Error alarm sounds if the cross track exceeds
0.3nm.

• The direction of the error is identified as “Pt” port or “Stb”
starboard.
• To cancel the alarm, press STANDBY to return to hand steering, or
AUTO to return to Auto mode.
Note: If the Large Cross Track Error alarm sounds, it is usually an indication
that the cross tide is too great for the vessel’s current speed.
