3. STEERING MODES 

When you arrive at a waypoint on a route while in the NAV mode, you can switch 
to the next waypoint automatically or manually. The AUTO setting will 
automatically switch to the next destination waypoint when your boat is within 
the arrival alarm area (set on the plotter). The MANUAL setting requires operator 
confirmation (pressing the course control knob) before switching to the next 
waypoint. When in MANUAL switching mode, the NAVpilot-511/520 will sound 
for five seconds an alarm when the vessel arrives at the destination waypoint. 
 
AUTO: 

When your boat is within the arrival alarm area, the buzzer sounds 
for five seconds and the message “WPT WAS CHANGED” 
appears. 

The message “WPT WAS CHANGED.” appears when the vessel 
arrives at the destination waypoint.
