2.3.2 Sailing method for the NAV mode
Your vessel can go off course between waypoints in the NAV mode. This can occur
when, for example, a command is received from a remote controller. To return to the
course set, three methods are available: [Course], [XTE (Precision)], and [XTE (Econ-
omy)].
• [Course]: The NAVpilot calculates a new course according to your new position (af-
ter dodging, etc.) that takes you directly to your destination waypoint.
• [XTE (Precision)] and [XTE (Economy)]: The NAVpilot uses the XTE (cross-track er-
ror) value to steer the boat towards your ORIGINAL course before dodging. [XTE
(Precision)] provides for tighter course keeping, within 0.01 NM of the set course.
[XTE (Economy)] gives less tighter course keeping, within 0.03 NM of the set
course.
Note: [Course] is not available with Fantum Feedback

[NAV mode]. To switch, press and hold the NAV key. If [NAV mode] is set to [Course],
press and hold the NAV key to switch to [XTE Precision], then release the NAV key.
The shortcut now switches between [XTE (Precision)] and [XTE (Economy)].
