AutoAdapt
The AutoAdapt feature allows the SmartPilot to compensate for heading errors at higher
latitudes, which are caused by the increasing dip of the earth’s magnetic field. The increased
dip has the effect of amplifying rudder response on northerly headings in the northern
hemisphere, and on southerly headings in the southern hemisphere.
If you set AUTOADAPT to nth or Sth, you then need to enter your current latitude in the next
screen (LATITUDE). If you have a GPS connected, the SmartPilot will take latitude information
from the GPS.
Latitude
The SmartPilot only displays this screen if you have set AUTOADAPT to nth or Sth. Use the
-
1,+1, -10
and
+10
keys to set the value to your boat’s current latitude, to the nearest degree.
If valid latitude data is available via SeaTalk or NMEA, the SmartPilot will use this data instead
of the calibration value.
