Configuring Route Turn Transitions

You can set how much time, or how far, before a turn in a route that you transition to the next leg. Raising this value can help improve the accuracy of the autopilot when navigating a route or an Auto Guidance line with many frequent turns, or at higher speeds. For straighter routes or slower speeds, lowering this value can improve autopilot accuracy.

1.From the Home screen, select Configure > Navigation > Turn Transition Activation.

2.Complete an action:

•Select Time > Turn Transition Time, and enter the time.

•Select Distance > Turn Transition Distance, and enter the distance.

3.Select Done.

Configuring Speed Data Sources

You can specify the source of the speed data that is used to calculate true wind speed or fuel economy. Water speed is the speed reading from a water-speed sensor, and GPS speed is calculated from your GPS position.

1.From the Home screen, select Configure > System > Speed Sources.

2.Complete an action:

•Select Wind, and indicate if the calculated wind speed data comes from a Water Speed sensor, if it is based on the GPS Speed, or whether the chartplotter selects a speed data source automatically.

•Select Fuel Economy, and indicate whether the speed data that is used to calculate fuel economy comes from a Water Speed sensor or is based on the GPS Speed.

Auto Guidance Line Configurations

You can set the parameters the chartplotter uses when calculating an Auto Guidance line. Note: Auto Guidance is available with a preprogrammed BlueChart g2 Vision data card.
