Skip
Skips the active waypoint and steers towards the next waypoint.
This option is only available when navigating a route with more
than one waypoint between the vessel position and the end of the
route.
Cancel
Cancels active navigation and deselects the current route or
waypoint navigation. The autopilot is switched to heading hold
mode, steering the vessel on the heading that was active when the
cancel button was selected.
Ú
Note:
This is different from selecting standby which does not
stop current navigation.
Turning in NAV mode
When the vessel reaches a waypoint, the autopilot will give an
audible warning and display a dialog with the new course
information.
There is a limit for the allowed automatic course change to next
waypoint in a route:
• If the required course change to the next waypoint is less than
the course change limit, the autopilot will automatically change
the course
• If the required course change to next waypoint is more than the
set limit, you are prompted to verify that the upcoming course
change is acceptable. If the turn is not accepted, the vessel will
continue with the current set heading.
The course change limit setting depends on the autopilot
computer. Refer to the autopilot computer documentation.
Wind mode
Ú
Note:
Wind mode is only available when the boat type is set to
Sail. It is not possible to activate wind mode if wind information
is missing.
In wind mode the autopilot captures the current wind angle as
steering reference, and adjusts the heading of the boat to maintain
this wind angle.
