2-7
2.3.2
Sailing method for NAV mode
Your boat can go off course between waypoints in the NAV mode. This can occur
when, for example, a command is received from the remote controller. To return to the
course set, two methods are available: [Precision], and [Economy].
[Precision] and [Economy] both use the XTE (cross-track error) value to steer the boat
towards your original course before dodging. [Precision] provides for tighter course
keeping, within 0.01 NM of the set course. [Economy] gives less tighter course keep-
ing, within 0.03 NM of the set course.
To select the sailing method, follow the procedure below.
1. With NAV mode active, open the menu.
2. Select [NAV Mode].
3. Select [Economy] or [Precision] as appropriate.
4. Close the menu.
2.3.3
Waypoint switching method
When you arrive at a waypoint on a route in the NAV mode, you can switch to the next
waypoint automatically or manually.
To select the waypoint switching method, follow the procedure below.
1. With NAV mode active, open the menu.
2. Select [Waypoint Switching].
3. Select [Auto] or [Manual] as appropriate.
[Auto]
: switches to the next destination waypoint when your boat is within the ar-
rival alarm area (set on the chart plotter). When your boat is within the arrival
alarm area, the buzzer sounds and a notification message appears. After five sec-
onds, the buzzer stops and the message disappears. However, if your GC-001 is
turned on at this time, the notification message is still displayed. Press any key to
remove the message.
[Manual]
: requires operator confirmation before switching to the next waypoint.
For manual switching, the NAVpilot sounds an audible alarm when the boat ar-
rives at the destination waypoint and a confirmation message appears. This con-
firmation message appears only on the FAP-3011 Control Unit.
Press
to acknowledge the message and switch to the next waypoint. The
system releases another audible alert and a message appears on the FAP-3011
Control Unit to inform that the waypoint was changed. This message also disap-
pears after five seconds, however key operation on the GC-001 is required to re-
move the message.
Note:
Manual waypoint changing is only available from the FAP-3011.
4. Close the menu.
