NoDrift mode
Ú
Note:
It is not possible to select NoDrift mode if GPS position
and heading information is missing.
In NoDrift mode the vessel is steered along a calculated track line,
from present position and in a direction set by the user. If the vessel
is drifting away from the track line due to current and/or wind (A),
the vessel will follow the line with a crab angle.
• Switch to NoDrift mode by selecting the NoDrift option in the
Mode list
When the mode is activated, the autopilot will draw an invisible
track line based on current heading from the vessel’s position.
The autopilot will now use the position information to calculate the
cross track distance, and automatically steer along the calculated
track.
Changing set course in NoDrift mode
You adjust the set course by turning the rotary knob or by pressing
the port or starboard keys.
An immediate course change takes place. The new course is
maintained until a new course is set.
