9.4 Track mode
You can use track mode to automatically steer your
vessel.
In Track mode, the autopilot automatically steers
your vessel to a target waypoint or along a route
plotted on your multifunction display. It makes any
course changes necessary to keep your vessel on
course, automatically compensating for tidal streams
and leeway.
Track mode is available only if you have connected
the autopilot to a suitable multifunction display with
autopilot control enabled.

vessel will turn onto the track line.
3. If it is safe for the vessel to turn onto the new
course, select Track .
The autopilot turns your vessel onto the new
course with the display showing the heading
required for the correct track.
Note: If the vessel is more than 0.3 nm from the
track, the Large Cross Track Error warning will
sound.
Waypoint arrival circle
The Waypoint Arrival Circle is a boundary line placed
around the actual waypoint which, when reached
triggers the waypoint arrival alarm. As the alarm is
triggered by the waypoint arrival circle and not the
waypoint your vessel may still be some distance from
the actual waypoint when the alarm sounds. The
size of the waypoint arrival circle can be customized,
if the arrival circle is changed so that the radius is 0.3
nm or greater from the waypoint this can result in a
cross track error alarm.
