WAYPOINT ARRIVAL CONT...

2. When the vessel DOES NOT arrive at the target waypoint
within the set radius for auto advance, BUT crosses an
imaginary line drawn through the waypoint perpendicular to
the rhumb-line between waypoints, the display will sound its
alarm and flash CROSSING. Other Network units will also
sound their alarms.

The action taken when the alarm is activated depends on
the AUTO ADVance status:

If AUTO ADVance is ON, the next waypoint in the route is
used when the vessel arrives or crosses the waypoint as
described above. When this occurs the alarm will sound and
the display flashes for five seconds, then the next waypoint
in the route will be automatically selected.

If AUTO ADVance is OFF, the next waypoint in the route is
used only when a key is pressed to silence the waypoint
arrival or crossing alarm. The alarm will sound and the
display flash until a key is pressed, then the next waypoint
in the route will be selected.

NOTE: When steering the boat with a Network PILOT, the
autopilot will not steer to the next waypoint until instructed to
do so by the helmsman. This is a safety feature. Refer to
the Steering to NMEA section of the PILOT owners manual.

SETTING AUTO ADVance FEATURE

1. Press the POS key.

2. Press the SETUP key until AUTO ADV is displayed.
