2.3.1 How to get the NAV mode
To get the NAV mode, do as follows:
1. Set the destination waypoint (or route) on the GPS navigator or chartplotter.
To navigate a route, make sure that your plotter is navigating towards the nearest
or required waypoint before you put the NAVpilot into the NAV mode.
2. Manually steer the boat toward the waypoint.
3. Press the NAV key.
You are asked if you are sure to navigate to the waypoint selected.
4. Push the Control course knob to start to navigate to the waypoint.
Note: The course reading on the NAVpilot is not always the same as the waypoint di-
rection shown on the chartplotter.
You can switch between nav data sources (for example, one source fails) by pressing
the NAV key three seconds. This feature is not available when [NAV Data Source] is
set to [Both] (at installation).
