4. ROUTE MODE
STORING (OR OVER WRITING) A ROUTE
From any mode, while holding down the “M” or “T” button,
press and hold a directional button for 5 seconds. The
buttons can then be released and the system will now be in
the function corresponding to the button you selected “M”
or “T”. The system is now recording your route.
The unit will emit a 1 second “beep” to indicate that the route is being recorded.
You can now navigate along your desired course, switching
at will between manual and track modes. The recording
will terminate when you press “OFF” or “A”.
The unit will emit a 1 second “beep” to indicate
that the route has been successfully saved.
Should you wish to record an anchor site using the “M” or “T” memory these loca-
tions, simply hit “OFF” or “A” as soon as the path begins to record, thus recording a
path of zero length. A route can also be recorded at higher speeds with the system in
the stowed position. Simply use the route storing procedure above and the system
will accurately record your route at speeds of up to 60 knots. For safety, the thruster
and steering motors will be disabled as long as the system is in the stowed position.
RECALLING A STORED ROUTE:
From any mode, while holding down the “M” or “T” button,
press and release the appropriate directional button.
The unit will “beep a tune” (multiple consecutive beeps)
to indicate that the route has been successfully retrieved.
The unit will emit two “growls” and exit if the memory
location is empty or the boat is not within 1 mile of a point on the route.
The system will navigate directly to the nearest point on the route and then travel to
the most distant end, anchoring when it arrives. At any time while retracing a route
you can reverse the direction of travel by simply repeating the same recall command.
The unit will “beep a tune” to indicate that the boat is arriving at the end of the
recorded route.
When recalling a stored route if you hold the buttons too long you will
over-write that existing route memory location with the boat’s present
location, erasing it and begin recording a new route.
The system will calculate a beeline to the nearest
point on the route. Make sure there are no ob-
structions between you and the route prior to recalling it.
