Arriving at a waypoint
The AP300DLX uses one of the following criteria to determine that you
have arrived at a waypoint:
• When you are within 30 seconds of arriving at the waypoint. This is
determined by the speed of the boat (provided by the speed over
ground data), and the distance to the waypoint.
or
• Passing the arrival perpendicular line to the waypoint
