Navigating with the autopilot
When you start navigation on a system with autopilot functionality, you are prompted to set
the autopilot to navigation mode.
Ú
Note: The prompt to set the autopilot to navigation mode is disabled if the boat type is
set to SAIL in the Autopilot Commissioning dialog.
If you choose not to engage the autopilot or if your boat is set to SAIL, the autopilot can be
set to navigation mode from the Autopilot Controller 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.
Arrival radius
Sets an invisible circle around the destination waypoint.
