WARNING: Ensure navigation safety
Skipping a waypoint will take you straight to the next waypoint. Check
your navigation before making the turn.
Waypoint Advance warning
The SmartPilot activates the Waypoint Advance warning in Track mode whenever
the target waypoint name changes. This occurs when:
• you select automatic acquisition by pressing
TRACK
from Auto
• you request waypoint advance by pressing
TRACK
for 1 second in Track mode
(with SeaTalk navigators only)
• the boat arrives at the target and the navigator accepts the next waypoint
• you activate the Man Overboard (MOB) function.
When the warning sounds, the SmartPilot continues on its current heading but
displays:
• the bearing to the next waypoint
• the direction the boat will turn to take up that bearing.
To respond to a Waypoint Advance warning:
• check that it is safe to turn onto the new track, then press
TRACK
to accept the
waypoint advance
• alternatively, you can cancel the warning without accepting the waypoint advance
by pressing:
•
AUTO
to continue on the same heading, or
•
STANDBY
to return to manual control
Route completion
The SmartPilot displays the
ROUTE COMPLETED
warning when you have reached
the last waypoint on a route in Track mode.
Note:
The ‘Route Complete’ alarm only sounds and displays in conjunction with a SeaTalk
chartplotter. NMEA chartplotters do not support the ‘Route Complete’ function, they will display
‘NO DATA’.
• press
AUTO
to continue on the same heading.
• or press
STANDBY
to return to manual control.
