3-1-1 Navigating to a point

When the TRACKER is navigating to a point, the
chart and highway displays show navigation
data:
A The boat position .
B The destination point marked with a circle.
C The boat’s plotted course to the

destination.

D Two CDI lines, parallel to the boat’s plotted

course, which indicate the maximum
expected deviation from the plotted
course.

For more information, see appendix C.
If the TRACKER is connected to an autopilot, the
TRACKER will send data to the autopilot to steer
the boat to the destination. Start the autopilot
before starting to navigate to the point.
If the TRACKER has no autopilot, steer the boat
manually:

a use the boat position and destination on

the chart or highway displays

b or use navigation data displayed on the

data header (see section 2-8-2)

c or use COG and BRG on the compass (see

section 2-8-3).

Note:
1 If the XTE alarm is enabled, an alarm will

sound if the boat deviates too much from
its intended course (see section 14-7).

2 If the arrival radius alarm is enabled, then

an alarm will sound to show that the boat
has reached the destination (see section
14-7).
