3.2.2ADVANCED AUTO mode

AUTO mode will maintain a set course, but your vessel’s course may be shifted by the effects of current or wind. ADVANCED AUTO mode maintains a set course while compensating for the effects of wind and tide. Note that your NAVpilot-511/520/611 must be connected to a (GPS) which outputs own ship’s position data (L/L) in NMEA0183 format to the NAVpilot-511/520/611.

In the ADVANCED AUTO mode, the NAVpilot-511/520/611 will calculate your course based on your present position and heading, and by setting a virtual “waypoint” in its memory to navigate towards. If either tide or wind begins to push you off course, the NAVpilot-511/520/611’s processor will correct your heading accordingly. In this mode, “AUTO” appears on the display.
