Description

Sensitivity

Options: Low, Medium, 
or High
Default: Medium

Guidance sensitivity level that determines how aggressively the 
RANGER steering guide LEDs guide you toward your pass when 
approaching it from close proximity.

crosstrack accuracy; typical setting for most vehicles.

crosstrack accuracy.
