PILOT IN STDBY - SELECTING NAV MODE


Steer to NAV can be selected from any other mode when the
autopilot is engaged or when in STaNDY. This enables you
to change directly from COMP to NAV or VANE to NAV and
back again during an autopilot steered passage.

IMPORTANT NOTE


If the autopilot is already engaged in another mode, as
soon as NAV mode is selected the autopilot will begin to
steer the boat on to the selected waypoint bearing.
Ensure that when NAV is selected any change of course
does not cause the boat to tack or gybe unexpectedly or
steer the boat in to danger.

INSTALLATIONS WITH TWO POSITION FIXERS


If the Network PILOT has two sources of NMEA data from
two position fixers (supplied via the NMEA input interfaces of
two Network PILOT Displays), when the MODE key is
pressed NAV1 or NAV2 will be displayed. Select NAV1 or
NAV2 to change the source of the NMEA data eg, from GPS
to DECCA.
