Navigating with the autopilot
When you start navigation on a system with autopilot functionality, you are prompted to set
the autopilot to navigation mode.
If you choose not to engage the autopilot, the autopilot can be set to navigation mode from
the pilot menu later on.
For more information about autopilot functionality, refer to "Autopilot" on page 50.
Navigation settings
Navigation method
Different methods are available for calculating the distance and bearing between any two
points on a chart.
The Great circle route is the shortest path between two points. However, if you are to travel
along such a route, it would be difficult to steer manually as the heading would constantly
be changing (except in the case of due north, south, or along the equator).
Rhumb lines are tracks of constant bearing. It is possible to travel between two locations
using Rhumb line computation, but the distance would usually be greater than if Great circle
is used.
