number changes, which occurs in the following circumstances:
• Automatic acquisition is selected by pressing
track
from Auto
• Waypoint advance is requested by pressing
track
for 1 second in
Track mode (SeaTalk Navigators only)
• When the vessel arrives at the target waypoint and the navigator
accepts the next waypoint
• When the Man Overboard (MOB) function is activated in Track
mode.
When the alarm sounds, the pilot continues on its current heading, but
displays the bearing to the next waypoint and the direction in which the
boat will turn to take up that bearing.

advance, press

to return to
Auto mode.
Note: The waypoint advance will only operate on pilots receiving
valid bearing to waypoint and waypoint number information.
