Autopilot Remote Control

WARNING

You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your

vessel. The autopilot is a tool that enhances your capability to

operate your boat. It does not relieve you of the responsibility of

safely operating your boat. Avoid navigational hazards and

never leave the helm unattended.

You can wirelessly connect a Reactor autopilot remote control to

the chartplotter to control the compatible Reactor autopilot

system.

For more information about using the remote, see the Reactor

autopilot remote control instructions at garmin.com

Sail Racing

You can use the device to increase the likelihood that your boat

will cross the start line of a race exactly when the race begins.

When you synchronize the race timer with the official race

countdown timer, you are alerted at one-minute intervals as the

race start approaches. When you combine the race timer with

the virtual start line, the device measures your speed, bearing,

and remaining time on the countdown timer. The device uses

this data to indicate whether your boat will cross the start line

before, after, or at the correct time to start the race.

Starting Line Guidance

Sailing start line guidance is a visual representation of the

information you need to cross the start line at the optimal time

and speed.

After you set the starboard and port start line pins, and the

target speed and time, and after you start the race timer, a

predictor line appears. The predictor line extends from your

current location toward the start line and the laylines that extend

from each pin.

The end point and color of the predictor line indicate where the

boat will be when the timer expires, based on your current boat

speed.

When the end point is before the start line, the line is white. This

indicates the boat must increase speed to reach the start line on

time.

When the end point is past the start line, the line is red. This

indicates the boat must reduce speed to avoid a penalty for

reaching the start line before the timer expires.

When the end point is on the start line, the line is white. This

indicates the boat is moving at an optimal speed to reach the

start line when the timer expires.

By default, the start line guidance window and the race timer

window appear in the Sail Racing combination screen.

Setting the Starting Line

From the starting line guidance gauge, select Menu > Start

Line.

Select an option:

• To mark the port and starboard starting line marks as you

sail past them, select Ping Marks.

• To mark the port and starboard starting line marks by

entering their coordinates, select Enter Coordinates.

• To switch the position of the port and starboard marks

after you have set them, select Swap Port & Strbd..

Using the Starting Line Guidance

You can use the starting line guidance feature to help get you

cross the start line, at the optimal speed during a sailing race.

Mark the starting line (Setting the Starting Line, page 26).

From the Start Line Guidance gauge, select Menu > Target

Speed, and select your target speed when crossing the

starting line.

Select Target Time, and select the target time to cross the

starting line.

Select Back.

Start the racing timer (Using the Race Timer, page 27).
