When a course or heading is entered, the ship will continue following the entered
course/heading for 100NM, or until a different mode of operation is selected.
If you select the Steer to Course/Heading command while you are currently
steering to a course/heading, you continue steering to the original
course/heading until you enter a new valid heading and select ”OK”. A valid
heading is defined by whether the vessel can make the physical rate of turn.
