Autopilot modesSupported

• Steer to Heading — The autopilot will automatically maintain the vessel’s current heading. This mode is available for all vessel types.

• Steer to Navigation — The autopilot will automatically steer the vessel to a waypoint or follow a route set from a Raymarine chartplotter. This mode is available for all vessel types.

• Steer to Wind(A) — The autopilot will use AWA (Apparent Wind Angle) to maintain a fixed wind angle to the wind, at any point of sail. This mode is only available for sailing vessel types, and requires wind data to be available.

• Steer to Wind(T) — The autopilot will use TWA (True Wind Angle); calculated from AWA (Apparent Wind Angle) and STW (Speed Through Water) to maintain a fixed wind angle to the wind at any point of sail. This mode is only available for sailing vessel types, and requires wind data to be available.

• Steer to Polar — The autopilot will use the polar table configured on a Raymarine chartplotter to achieve optimum upwind (or downwind) performance, based on the polar table data. This mode is only available for sailing vessel types, and requires wind data to be available.

• Power Steer — The autopilot will command the rudder directly. This mode is only available for power boat types / vessel hull types.
