STEERING INFORMATION
In this section you will learn how to obtain information about:
- Course bearing
- Waypoint bearing
- Cross track error
- Distance to the next waypoint
- Time to the next waypoint
The ROUTE mode must be active in order to obtain steering information.
Define a route to travel either by using GO TO (Refer to section111. Creating temporary routes
using GO TO) or the Select System (Refer to section 1V. “To Travel or Clear a Route”)
Press STEER. The steering indicator will appear in the multi-function display box.
The display will provide information on your present course vs your intended course with
instruction for getting back on course and other navigation information helpful to your trip (Refer
to Figure 24). The digital course read-out moves to the bottom of the display box, so that it may
always be visible. The Off Course Alarm setting is shown by arrows at the top of the steering
information box.
Note: STEER will only work if the ROUTE mode is active.
If your boat is traveling in a direction more than 90 degrees from the course bearing to the
waypoint, a warning message will appear in the graphic display area stating HEADING AWAY
FROM WAYPOINT. As with any alarm or warning message, press CLEAR to remove the
message from the screen.
Note: To discontinue the ROUTE mode, press and hold CLEAR.
