2.3.3 Waypoint switching method
When you arrive at a waypoint on a route in the NAV mode, you can switch to the next
waypoint automatically or manually.
The AUTO setting switches to the next destination waypoint when your boat is within
the arrival alarm area (set on the chartplotter). When your boat is within the arrival
alarm area, the buzzer sounds for five seconds and the message "WPT WAS
CHANGED" appears.
The MANUAL setting requires operator confirmation (pushing the Course control
knob) before switching to the next waypoint. For manual switching, the NAVpilot
sounds a five-second alarm when the vessel arrives at the destination waypoint. The
message "PUSH ANY KEY TO TURN." appears. Push any key. Then, the message
WPT WAS CHANGED.” appears.
