NAV

When operating the autopilot in NAV mode to steer through a route of waypoints, the autopilot will steer to the first waypoint in the route after you accept the first waypoint as the location to steer towards. When you arrive at the waypoint, the autopilot will output an audible warning, display an alert screen with the new course information, and automatically change course onto the new leg.

If the required course change is more than 10°, you will need to verify that the upcoming course change is acceptable. This is a safety feature.

Alert screen. Press NAV button to verify course change larger than 10°.

If no verification is received, the autopilot will continue on the current set course in AUTO mode.
