Cross Track Error (XTE)
Cross Track Error (XTE) occurs when your vessel is steered or drifts off its
intended course. The distance between your intended course and your
actual position is the Cross track error (XTE).

specified distance from your intended course. The Off track alarm can be
configured from the Alarms manager:

When a cross track error exists you can either steer your vessel back on to its
intended course or you can use the
[Restart XTE]

and use a new course from your current position as the intended course.

[Restart XTE]
