NoDrift mode
Ú
Note:
It is not possible to select NoDrift mode if GPS position
and heading information is missing.
In NoDrift mode the vessel is steered along a calculated track line,
from present position and in a direction set by the user. If the vessel
is drifting away from the track line due to current and/or wind (
A
),
the vessel will follow the line with a crab angle.
Prior to entering NoDrift mode the autopilot system must be
operating in AUTO mode and with valid input from GPS and
heading sensor.
• Switch to NoDrift mode by selecting the
NoDrift
option in the
Mode list
- The autopilot will draw an invisible track line based on current
heading from the vessel’s position

cross track distance, and automatically steer along the calculated
track.
Changing set course in NoDrift mode
