Navigating mode
Warning: Navigational steering should only be used in open waters.
The AP70 and AP80 can use steering information from an external navigator to direct the
vessel to one specific waypoint location, or through a series of waypoints.
In NAV mode the autopilot will steer straight legs along a route set on chart plotter
¼ Note: It is not possible to select NAV mode if heading information is missing, or if steering or
speed information is not received from the external navigator.
When in a NAV mode, the autopilot uses the heading sensor as its heading source for course
keeping. The steering and speed information received from the external navigator alters the
set course to direct the vessel to the destination waypoint.
To obtain satisfactory navigation steering, the autopilot system must have valid input from
the chart system. Autosteering must be tested and determined satisfactory prior to entering
the navigation mode.
