For use when KAP-866 is interfaced to a GPS

be directed by the GPS Navigator, enabling
automatic heading changes and eliminating the
effects of wind and tide.

indicates the course-to-steer,which will be the
bearing between the origin ad destination Waypoints,plus a factor to correct for
the Current crosstrack-error(XTE).

on the Mode field to indicate the steering is directed by the connected GPS
Navigator.

If no GPS data is being received by the KAP-866, the autopilot will lock onto
the course of the vessel at the time that Navigation Mode was engaged, and the
No GPS Data alarm shall sound.
