Prior to entering NAV mode the navigator must be navigating a
route or towards a waypoint.
• Initiate NAV mode by selecting the NAV option in the Mode list

Turning in NAV mode
When your vessel reaches a waypoint, the autopilot will give an
audible warning and display a dialog with the new course
information.
There is a user defined limit for the allowed automatic course
change to next waypoint in a route. If the course change is more
than this set limit, you are prompted to verify that the upcoming
course change is acceptable.
• If the required course change to the next waypoint is less than
the course change limit, the autopilot will automatically change
the course. The dialog will disappear after 8 seconds unless
cleared by the X key.
• If the required course change to next waypoint is more than the
set limit, you are prompted to verify that the upcoming course
change is acceptable. If the turn is not accepted, the vessel will
continue with the current set heading.
