108 Navigation mode In Nav. mode you can use the autopilot to steer the boat to cursor position, to a waypoint position, or along a pre-defined route. The position information from the GPS is used to keep the boat on the track line towards the destination point. When you start navigating from an application (from chart, steering, radar, etc) you are prompted to engage the autopilot in Nav. mode. You can also initiate Nav. mode from the Autopilot Controller after navigation is started. When you reach the destination, the autopilot switches to your Arrival mode setting. Refer to "Autopilot settings" on page 109. Trolling motor speed control In navigation modes (Heading lock mode, Nav. mode, and Turn pattern steering) there are two ways to control speed: • Prop - selects a target propeller rate (percentage of power) shown as % in the Autopilot information bar. • Cruise - selects a target cruise control speed shown as mph, kn, or kph in the Autopilot information bar. Ú Note: Cruise set speed sets the target speed for your vessel. Your vessel may not be able to achieve the set target. The Cruise set speed (not your current speed) is displayed in the Autopilot information bar. Trolling motor autopilot | HDS Carbon Operator Manual
