Verify your course is good!
Zoom in to see depth marks, navigation aid details and obstructions on the chart. Scroll/Pan along the route to
review your course to be certain it does not cross any obstructions, or enter shallow water. If the course is not
where you like, it is easy to adjust. To edit / add waypoints use the joystick to scroll over the course location or
existing WP and a target should appear. Select the WP, or insertion location by pressing in on the joystick. This
will pop up an option menu to insert/delete/edit/move waypoints. Select the action that will allow you to
reposition, add, or delete a WP as needed.
To navigate existing courses return to the root menu and select ‘My Data” you may scroll through the table of
existing courses and show/hide, select and activate a course from the list.
When a course is activated and the autopilot is on you will be prompted to engage the autopilot. It is advised
that you set the autopilot to standby and manually steer the course until you have verified the next waypoint is
clear. You may initiate autopilot and track the course at any time by pressing the auto button and then the track
button.
Caution, Caution, Caution…
before engaging the autopilot, verify for certain the autopilot is targeting the
next way point you want. If you are entering a course from other than its beginning you must use the menu
options to advance waypoints or the Autopilot will turn and head directly to the start of the course or the last
active waypoint. If objects, obstacles, debris, or land are between you and the active target way point it will not
know this and it will not avoid these obstacles.
For additional information please review the section on Autopilot (section 3.6.4) later in this manual.

NavMan 2100 Depth Sounder
There is an individual NavMan 2100 depth sounder mounted in the fly bridge console. It is powered on from
the flybridge switch panel. The sounder is typically reliable in waters less than 200 feet deep and at slower
speeds. If the sounder is blinking, it might be a false reading due to excessive depths, brackish water, or strong
currents. Watch your depth carefully in cruising unknown waters that might have rocks or obstacles.
