The easiest way to select and steer to a waypoint is to touch the screen where you wish to go; a
target will appear on the screen and a drop-down menu will appear at the top of the screen.
Press ‘Go To’ and a magenta route line will appear on the screen. Then t he autopilot dialog box
will pop up; do you want to Engage the autopilot. If you select ‘Engage’ on the chart plotter

of emergency. For a man overboard you may select to return to the position of the man
overboard. Be sure to throttle back so that the boat does not make a full speed U turn.
