G-PILOT 3380 Operation Manual
The G-PILOT 3380 is a superior quality, high
performance G-PILOT display head. The
Navman G-PILOT system has the flexibility to
be used with power or sail boats.
The G-PILOT 3380 has dedicated function
keys and a large 3.8” Color TFT display. This
provides the user with exceptionally easy to
use controls.
The G-PILOT 3380 is part of the Navman
family of instruments for boats, which
includes instruments for speed, depth, wind
and repeaters. These instruments can be
connected together to form an integrated data
system for a boat. The G-PILOT’s performance
is enhanced if it is connected to a boat speed
instrument such as a NAVMAN SPEED 3100 or a
GPS instrument.

G-PILOT Modes
1-1-1 Operating modes
The G-PILOT has three operating modes (see
sections 3-5 and 3-6):
STANDBY:
The G-PILOT
does not
steer the
boat (except during jog steer).
The
helmsman
steers the boat
with the manual helm.
AUTO:
The G-PILOT steers the boat
automatically based on selected
Steering Mode and course.
Do
not
steer the boat manually.
HAND-STEER:
The G-PILOT does not steer
the boat, but displays steering
information for you to use to
manually steer a course. Steer
manually using the displayed
steering data.
1-1-2 Steering modes
The G-PILOT has three steering modes (see
section 3-7):
Compass -
The boat sails at a set compass
heading.
GPS -
The boat sails to a destination along a
preset route.
This mode requires a GPS instrument, such as
a NAVMAN TRACKER 5500 chart-plotter to be
connected via NMEA.
Wind -
The boat sails at a set angle to the wind.
This mode requires a wind instrument, such
as a NAVMAN WIND 3100 to be connected via
NavBus or NMEA.
