The Pilot has the capability to use steering information from an external navigator (GPS, chart
plotter) to direct the boat to a specifi c waypoint location, or through a route of waypoints.
The information received from the navigator automatically changes the course to steer to
keep the boat on the rhumb line and direct the Pilot to the destination waypoint.
 Note: If the Pilot is connected to a chart plotter that does not transmit a message with
bearing to next waypoint, it will steer on Cross Track Error (XTE) only. In that case you have to
revert to Auto mode at each waypoint and manually change set course to equal bearing to
next waypoint and then select Nav mode again.
To obtain satisfactory navigation steering, the following points must be fulfi lled prior to
entering the Navigation mode:
• The Pilot’s autosteering must be tested and determined satisfactory
• The chart plotter (GPS, chart plotter) must be in full operating mode with adequate satellite
coverage.
• At least one waypoint must be entered and selected as the current Go to waypoint
 Note: The data source when operating in Navigation mode is the Navigation (Nav) source. It is
normally the same as the Position source (GPS/chart plotter)
 Note: Navigational steering should only be used in open waters. When selecting Navigation
mode, the Pilot maintains the current set course and prompts the user to accept the course
change towards the destination waypoint.
Press ‘Auto’ then long press the ‘Mode’ key until Nav is selected.
