Item Description Settings
[NAV Mode] Your vessel may go off course when navigating between
waypoints in the NAV mode. This can happen when, for
example, a command is received from a remote control-
ler. To get you back on course, three methods are avail-
able [Course], [XTE (Precision)] and [XTE (Economy)].
For [Course], the NAVpilot calculates a new course
based on your new position after dodging, etc. that takes
you directly to your destination waypoint. [XTE (Preci-
sion)] and [XTE (Economy)] both use the XTE (cross-
track error) value to steer the boat towards your original
course before dodging. [XTE (Precision)] provides for
more precise steering than [XTE (Economy)].
Note: [Course] is not shown in case of Fantum Feed-
