What is the Waypoint Advance warning?

The SmartPilot activates the Waypoint Advance warning (NEXT WPT?) in
Track mode whenever the target waypoint name changes. This occurs when:

you select automatic acquisition by pressing track from Auto

you request waypoint advance by pressing track for 1 second in Track
mode (with SeaTalk navigators only)

the boat arrives at the target and the navigator accepts the next waypoint

you activate the Man Overboard (MOB) function (see page 23)

When the warning sounds, the SmartPilot continues on its current heading
but displays:

the bearing to the next waypoint

the direction the boat will turn to take up that bearing

How do I respond to a Waypoint Advance warning?
To respond to a Waypoint Advance warning:

check that it is safe to turn onto the new track, then press track to accept
the waypoint advance

alternatively, you can cancel the warning without accepting the waypoint
advance by pressing:

auto to continue on the same heading, or

standby to return to manual control

What happens when I get to the end of the route?

The SmartPilot displays the ROUTE COMPLETED warning when you have
reached the last waypoint on a route in Track mode.
