9.5 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.

2. Select Track .
The display will show the bearing to the next planned
waypoint, and the direction in which the 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.
