3.3.5 Navigating to TLL point (FISHING mode)
When TLL (Target Latitude and Longitude) data is input from a radar or echo
sounder connected in the STBY, AUTO or NAV mode, the “FISHING MODE”
window appears. Then, you may choose how to progress towards that position,
from ORBIT (clockwise, counterclockwise) or CLOVER LEAF. (You may also
continue current steering mode, by choosing OFF.) For this mode, own ship’s
position L/L data and waypoint L/L data are required. For details, see pages 3-6
and 3-7.
