WARNING: Ensure you have sufficient open space for calibration
The open water calibration manoeuvres require a clear, familiar area of
water, with enough depth for your vessel. Ensure you are not likely to
collide with any vessel or other obstruction during calibration.
WARNING: Unexpected turns
The autopilot may make unexpected turns during open water calibra-
tion. Maintain a speed that will enable safe turns.
