2. 1 How do I follow a route set on a Chartplotter?
CAUTION: Safety in Track mode Track mode provides accurate track keeping even in complex navigational situations. However, it is still the skipper's responsibility to ensure the safety of their boat at all times through careful navigation and frequent position checks. Track mode assists precise navigation and removes the tasks of compensating for wind and tidal drift. In Track mode, the SmartPilot maintains a route between waypoints created on a navigation system. It makes any course changes necessary to keep your boat on course, automatically compensating for tidal streams and leeway. Track mode is available only if you have connected the SmartPilot to a suitable navigation system providing SeaTalk or NMEA information. (See SmartPilot
Commissioning Guide for connection details)
Your SmartPilot system can receive route information from: · a SeaTalk navigation instrument or chartplotter. · a navigation system transmitting data in NMEA 0183 format.
How do I activate Track mode?
CAUTION: Make suitable preparations for entering track mode When you enter Track mode, the SmartPilot will bring the boat onto the track in a controlled way. The closer the boat is to the correct heading and track, the quicker it will settle the boat onto the new course. To avoid an unexpected turn, align the boat approximately with the required track before entering Track mode. Starting with the SmartPilot in AUTO mode and your chartplotter following a route.
