3-1-1 Navigating to a point
When the TRACKFISH is navigating to a
point, the chart and highway displays show
navigation data:
A The boat position .
B The destination point marked with a circle.
C The boat’s plotted course to the
destination.
D Two CDI lines, parallel to the boat’s plotted
course, which indicate the maximum
expected deviation from the plotted
course.
For more information, see appendix C.
If the TRACKFISH is connected to an autopilot,
the TRACKFISH will send data to the autopilot
to steer the boat to the destination. Start the
autopilot before starting to navigate to the
point.
If the TRACKFISH has no autopilot, steer the
boat manually:
a use the boat position and destination on
the chart or highway displays
b or use navigation data displayed on the
data header (see section 2-7-3)
c or use COG and BRG on the compass (see
section 2-7-4).
Note:
1 If the XTE alarm is enabled, an alarm will
sound if the boat deviates too much from
its intended course (see section 17-8).
2 If the arrival radius alarm is enabled, then
an alarm will sound to show that the boat
has reached the destination
(see section 17-8).
A waypoint is a position that you can set on the
TRACKFISH chart, for example a fishing spot or
a point on a route (see section 5).
