How do I dodge an obstacle in Track mode?
In Track mode you still have full control from the keypad.You can make a dodge
maneuver by using the course change buttons (
1
,
+1
,
10
or
+10
) to select the
desired course change.
On making a dodge maneuver, the autopilot will revert to AUTO mode. Once you
are safely past the obstacle, re initiate Track mode to continue on your planned
route.
What happens when I arrive at a waypoint?
As the boat arrives at the target waypoint the chartplotter will select the next
target waypoint and transmit this to the SmartPilot. It will then detect the new
target waypoint name, sound a Waypoint Advance warning and display the
Waypoint Advance (NEXT WPT) screen. This shows the new bearing to the next
waypoint and the direction the boat will turn to acquire the new track.
How do I get to the next waypoint in a route?
When the Waypoint Advance warning sounds, the SmartPilot suspends Track
mode and maintains the current boat heading.To advance to the next waypoint:
1. Check that it is safe to turn onto the new track.
2. Press the
track
button. This will cancel the Waypoint Advance warning and
turn the boat towards the next waypoint.
Note: If you do not press track
to accept the Waypoint Advance, the SmartPilot will
maintain the current heading and continue sounding the warning.
