Garmin GHP 10 Marine Autopilot System GHC 10 Quick Start Manual - Page 11

Using GPS Steering The autopilot can steer the boat along a route defined by your GPS device, or in preset patterns based on a GPS location (waypoint). To use GPS steering, you must have an optional GPS device connected to the autopilot. For more information on connecting an optional GPS device, see the GHP 10/10V Installation Instructions. The GPS steering patterns are based on a GPS waypoint to which you are actively navigating using your optional GPS unit. This waypoint is called the active waypoint. For example, when you begin a Search GPS pattern, the autopilot first drives your boat to the active waypoint and then circles the active waypoint in a spiral pattern. To cancel a GPS steering pattern, you can physically steer the boat, use the soft keys to manually adjust the heading, or press the STBY button. To begin a GPS pattern: 1. Begin navigating to a waypoint on your GPS device. 2. From the Heading screen, select Menu > GPS Steering and choose a GPS pattern. 3. Select Engage to begin the GPS pattern with the default settings. OR Select Setup to adjust the settings for the GPS pattern (if available). 4. Choose the direction of the pattern if prompted. Note: If the pattern has only one setting, the setting name appears instead of Setup. If no settings are available for the pattern, Setup will not be available. caution: You are responsible for the safe operation of your boat. Do not begin a GPS route or a GPS pattern until you are certain that the water is clear of obstacles. GHC 10 Quick Start Manual
