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.
