2.7.1 Operational Steering Modes of ECDIS
ECDIS may function in one of three different steering modes. The mode in which
you are working is defined by the functions you are performing. In the Waypoints
menu, a check mark appears next to the command name of the mode in which
you are currently operating.
Mode selection is made by using the Steer Manually, Steer to Track, or Steer to
Course/Heading menu commands under the Waypoint menu. You may transit
between modes just by selecting a different command. When you switch
between modes,
ECDIS displays a message box asking you to confirm the change:
