2. STEERING MODES
2-8
2.3.2 Sailing method for the NAV mode
Your vessel can go off course between waypoints in the NAV mode. This can occur
when, for example, a command is received from a remote controller. To return to the
course set, three methods are available: [COURSE], [XTE (PRECISION], and [XTE
(ECONOMY)]. For [COURSE], the NAVpilot calculates a new course according to
your new position, after dodging, etc. that takes you directly to your destination way-
point. [XTE (PRECISION)] and [XTE (ECONOMY)] both use the XTE (cross-track er-
ror) value to steer the boat towards your ORIGINAL course before dodging.
PRECISION provides for tighter course keeping, within 0.01 nm of the set course.
ECONOMY gives less tighter course keeping, within 0.03 nm of the set course.
Note: [COURSE] is not available with Fantum Feedback
