Defining the heading/course change for the arrow keys
By default the set heading (Auto mode) and set course (NoDrift mode) will change 1° each
time you press the port or starboard key. You can change this increment setting from the
Turn settings dialog. The dialog is activated from the Turn Quick menu and from the
Autopilot settings dialog.
The turn preset function
The system includes a turn preset feature for Auto and NoDrift mode. This allows for setting
the new heading/course, turn radius and turn type before the turn starts. The function gives
a more precise starting point for the turn, and it also avoids unintended heading/course
changes when accidentally turning the rotary knob.
Ú
Note:
The port and starboard keys will always give immediate action, also when the turn
preset function is active.
