4.2.4 Automatic steering by navigator
Automatic steering by navigator is only possible if a navigator is con-
nected and it is navigating towards a waypoint.
To select steering by navigator, press MODE until the page-arrow ap-
pears under NAV, and [NAV] is flashing on the lower-line. Your present
course is displayed on the top-line.
Caution! Before activating [NAV] steering, make sure your present
heading corresponds approximately with bearing to waypoint, and that
the cross track error is less than two NM, because the Autopilot will turn
the boat towards the track line first and then onto the heading set.
To activate NAV steering, press KEY when [NAV] is flashing.
Bearing to waypoint or cross track error to waypoint are now displayed
on the lower-line to the left. To alternate the display between bearing
and track on the lower-line, press
LEFT or RIGHT.
Caution!
The NAV function will automatically change course when the next
waypoint information is displayed and the helmsman should ensure that
there are no boats or other hazards on the new course as the waypoint is
changing. When using waypoint sequencing in a route list, it is extremely
important that the helmsman is at the steering position and ready to
override the pilot if the course change would cause collision with other
boats or objects.
Set all waypoints in navigators away from navigational hazards by at least
100 metres as the boat may require this radius or more on waypoint
advance. The Nexus GPS Navigator will allow you to select a route list
with automatic sequencing, or with a confirming push-button press for
each waypoint.
4.2.5 Automatic steering by wind
Automatic steering by wind is only possible if the Autopilot is connected
to a Nexus Network with a wind transducer connected.
Note! The apparent wind speed must be more than 3 knots. If the ap-
parent wind speed falls below 3 knots, wind signals are disabled and
the Autopilot will maintain the current magnetic heading reference in-
stead.
Before activating wind steering, optimise your sail trim.
