Autopilot modes ContentsAutoMode menuPilot modes are accessed from the Mode menu. The available modes are determined by the type of connected autopilot system and the Vessel Hull Type selected during the Set-up Wizard.PatternsFishing patterns are available, that can be used with their default settings or adjusted to your own preference. Fishing patterns require GNSS (GPS) data to be available on your system.Track modeIn Track mode, the autopilot automatically steers your vessel to a target waypoint or along a route plotted on your MFD. It makes any course corrections necessary to keep your vessel on course, automatically compensating for tidal streams and leeway.Wind vane modeWhen the autopilot is in Wind Vane mode, it uses the wind angle as the primary heading reference. As changes in the true or apparent wind angle occur, it adjusts the locked heading to maintain the original wind angle.Power steerPower steer mode enables you to use the rotary controller of the p70Rs or a connected joystick to directly steer the vessel on a manual heading.Jog steer (tiller pilots only)If you have a tiller drive installed on a SeaTalk network, you can use the pilot controller to operate the ram in Jog steer mode.Shortcut keyWhen in pilot view you can assign pilot modes to the LEFT SOFT button as a shortcut depending on which vessel type has been set up.Previous topic: Commissioning — SPX and SmartPilot systemsNext topic: Pilot views
