
OFF TRACK in the operating mode TRACK (track control)
The centric segment represents the ship’s position with regard to the
planned track. If the ship is running symmetrically within the monitoring
limits, it follows the planned track without considerable track error. If the
segment e.g. drifts to the right, the ship is running on the right of the track,
and vice versa. Passing over from one segment to another corresponds
to a deviation of 0.01nm.

OFF HEADING in the operating mode AUTO (heading control) and
TRACK (track control)
Operating mode AUTO
The centric segment represents the heading difference between the set
heading and actual heading. One segment corresponds to a heading
deviation of 2

. The monitoring limits show the permissible limit range for
the heading difference.
Operating mode TRACK
The centric segment represents the difference between planned track
course and actual heading during track control (caused by drift or weather
conditions). Passing over from one segment to another corresponds to a
difference 2

more or less.
