S1 Wheel and Tiller Pilots Operating Guide
How do I skip a waypoint? (SeaTalk chartplotters)
If you want to advance to the next waypoint
before
you have arrived at the
target waypoint, you can skip a waypoint by pressing
track
for 1 second. The
display will then show the Waypoint Advance screen for the next waypoint. Check
it is safe to turn, then press
track
to turn the boat towards the next waypoint.
WARNING: Ensure navigation safety
Skipping a waypoint will take you straight to the next waypoint.
Check your navigation before making the turn.
Always be aware of the relative wind angle, especially when
turning away from the wind.
What is the Waypoint Advance alarm?
The SmartPilot activates the Waypoint Advance alarm (NEXT WPT?) in Track
mode whenever the target waypoint name changes. This occurs when:
• you select automatic acquisition by pressing
track
from Auto
• you request waypoint advance by pressing
track
for 1 second in Track mode
(with SeaTalk navigators only)
• the boat arrives at the target and the navigator accepts the next waypoint
• you activate the Man Overboard (MOB) function (see
page 28
)
When the alarm sounds, the SmartPilot continues on its current heading but
displays:
• the bearing to the next waypoint
• the direction the boat will turn to take up that bearing
How do I respond to a Waypoint Advance alarm?
To respond to a Waypoint Advance alarm:
• check that it is safe to turn onto the new
track
, then press track to accept the
waypoint advance
• alternatively, you can cancel the alarm without accepting the waypoint
advance by pressing:
•
auto
to continue on the same heading, or
•
standby
to return to manual control
What happens when I get to the end of the route?
The SmartPilot displays the
ROUTE COMPLETED
warning when you have
reached the last waypoint on a route in Track mode.
• press
auto
to continue on the same heading.
