Automatic turning

Automatic turning enables Evolution-Series autopilots to automatically turn to the next waypoint in a route. When the current waypoint arrival radius has been reached a countdown will commence, and when it reaches zero the vessel will automatically turn toward the next waypoint.

Automatic turningThe Automatic turning feature requires your Evolution-Series autopilot to be running software version 3.14 or later and your Axiom-Series or Axiom 2-Series display to be running LightHouse 4 v4.4.70 or later.

Automatic turning is available when the Vessel hull type is set to one of the power options.

Vessel hull type can be changed from the Vessel settings menu: Menu > Set-up > Autopilot Calibration > Vessel Settings > Vessel Hull Type.

Note

  • Automatic turning is NOT available when the autopilot is configured using a Sail Vessel hull type.

  • Waypoints must be farther apart than the Arrival radius (pilot in track mode) distance.

Automatic turning is disabled by default. Automatic turning can only be enabled and configured from an Axiom-Series or Axiom 2-Series display’s Autopilot settings menu: Homescreen > Settings > Autopilot > Automatically turn to next waypoint.
