Autopilot| Triton Operator Manual
The prompt display shows the name of the next waypoint, the bearing of the rhumb line-
from the previous waypoint to the destination waypoint, the required course change and the
direction in which the boat will turn.
Note: If only one waypoint has been entered the bearing will be from the boat’s position to
the destination waypoint.
Note: For Cross Track Error, the number of decimals shown depends on the output from the
GPS/chart plotter. Three decimals give more accurate course keeping.
When operating the Pilot in Navigation mode to steer through a route of waypoints, the Pilot
will steer to the nearest waypoint in the direction of the route after you accept the Navigation
mode prompt. When you arrive at the waypoint, the system will output an audible warning,
display an alert screen with the new course information, and automatically change course
onto the new leg.
Note: If the required course change is more than the Navigation change limit (default 10º),
you have to verify that the upcoming course change is acceptable. This is a safety feature. See
Nav change limit on how to change this setting.
Alert warning
An alert screen will warn you that the course change is greater than 10º. Press ‘Enter’ to
confi rm the course change,.
