You can interrupt the tack operation as long as the tack dialog is open by selecting the
opposite tacking direction. When interrupted the boat will return to the previous set
heading.
NoDrift mode
Enter a short description of your task here (optional).
NoDrift mode combines the autopilot and the positioning information from the GPS.
In NoDrift mode the vessel is steered along a calculated track line in a direction set by the
user. If the vessel's heading is drifting away from the original heading due to current and/or
wind, the vessel will follow the line with a crab angle.
1.
Turn the vessel to the desired heading
2.
Activate the NoDrift mode. The autopilot will draw an invisible bearing line based on current
heading from the boat’s position
Unlike in AUTO (compass) mode the autopilot will now use the position information to
calculate the cross track error, and automatically keep your track straight.
You use the port/starboard arrow panel buttons in the autopilot pop-up or the rotary knob
to reset the bearing line while in NoDrift mode.
Dodging
If you need to avoid an obstacle when using NoDrift mode, you can set the autopilot to STBY
and power steer or use the helm until the obstacle is passed.
If you return to NoDrift mode within 60 seconds you can select to continue on previous set
bearing line.
If you don’t respond the dialog will disappear and the autopilot will go to NoDrift mode with
current heading as set bearing line.
NAV mode
Warning:
NAV
mode should only be used in open waters.
You can use the autopilot to automatically steer the boat to a specific waypoint location, or
along a pre-defined route. The position information from the GPS will be used to change the
course to steer to keep the boat on the track line and to the destination waypoint.
Ú
Note:
To obtain satisfactory navigation steering, the NSS evo2 must have valid position input.
Autosteering must be tested and determined satisfactory prior to entering the NAV mode.
Start automatic navigating
When you start navigating a route or to a waypoint from the chart panel, you will be
prompted to set the autopilot to
NAV
mode. If you reject this request, you can start
NAV
mode from the autopilot mode menu.
When
NAV
mode is initiated, the autopilot will automatically keep the vessel on the leg.
When the vessel reaches the arrival circle for a routepoint, the autopilot will give an audible
warning and display a dialog with the new course information. If the required course change
to the next waypoint is less than the Navigation change limit, the autopilot will automatically
change the course. If the required course change to next waypoint in a route is more than
the set limit, you are prompted to verify that the upcoming course change is acceptable.
Ú
Note:
For information about navigation settings, refer to
"Navigation settings"
on page 35.
