Restarting navigation

When you steer to avoid an obstacle or the vessel drifts, you may go off your
intended course, as in Line 1 in the figure below. Also, if you don’t need to return
to the original course, you can go directly to the next waypoint, as in Line 2 in
the figure below. In these cases, use the restart function to restart navigation.
