You may prefer manual switching for critical situations when
trying to locate a buoy in dense fog, or maneuvering around a
waypoint trying to find a lobster trap, and so on. Why? Manual

information for the nearby waypoint—even if you’ve passed
it—until you’re ready to manually advance to the next way-
