To select an appropriate mode, see section 2-4. In Compass mode, the G-PILOT steers the boat to a set course, called CTS (Course to steer). 4-1 Compass steering data Boat heading, 45° Course error, 10° to starboard CTS (course to steer, the intended autopilot course) 55° 4-2 Engaging and disengaging the G-PILOT 3100 in compass mode Manually steer the boat to open waters. For example: Heading = 45° To engage AUTO, hold AUTO AUTO: To engage HAND STEER, hold AUTO + MENU HANDSTEER: The G-PILOT steers the boat automatically. Steer the boat manually. Display CTS in the info data or course error in the bar data and use these to steer by. Heading = 45° CTS = 45° The G-PILOT 3100 sets CTS (course to steer) to the current heading, in this example 45°, and starts steering on this course. To disengage the G-PILOT, press AUTO The G-PILOT returns to STBY (standby). Steer the boat manually. 16 NAVMAN G-PILOT 3100 Operation Manual When the G-PILOT 3100 is engaged Hold AUTO to attempt to switch to GPS mode (if vessel type is PLNE [planing] or DISP [displacement]) or to wind mode (if vessel type is SAIL). Waves or wind can push the boat's heading off course, The G-PILOT 3100 will steer the boat back on course, for example: CTS = 45° Wave pushes boat heading to 60° Wind or currents can push the boat to one side of the course, for example: CTS = 45° Current G-PILOT 3100 steers boat back to a heading of 45° Heading is maintained at 45° 4-3 Changing course in compass mode To change course in 1° steps: press < to change course by 1° to port press > to change course by 1° to starboard. For example: Heading = 45° CTS = 45° Press < Heading = 45° CTS = 45° Press > CTS changes to 44° Boat comes to 44° heading CTS changes to 46° Boat comes to 46° heading To change course in 10° steps: hold down < to change course by 10° to port every half second hold down > to change course by 10° to starboard every half second. For example: Heading = 45° CTS = 45° Hold < for half a second Hold < until CTS is 15° CTS changes to 35° Boat comes to 35° heading G-PILOT 3100 Operation Manual Boat comes to 15° heading NAVMAN 17 4-4 Dodging in compass mode A dodge is a sharp change of course, usually to avoid an obstacle. press MENU + < to dodge to port by the dodge angle press MENU + > to dodge to starboard by the dodge angle. For example: Heading = 45° CTS = 45° Press ENT to continue on the new heading Press MENU + < or CTS changes by the dodge angle. The G-PILOT beeps. Press ESC to resume the earlier heading Note To dodge further, press MENU + < or MENU + > more times. To view or change the dodge angle, go to DODGE ANG in the OPTIONS menu (see section 3-7). 4-5 Auto tacking in compass mode Auto tacking is intended to tack a sailing boat. The course to steer changes by the tack angle. press AUTO + < to tack to port by the tack angle press AUTO + > to tack to starboard by the tack angle. For example: The tack is finished when the boat reaches the new headAt the end of the tack delay, CTS changes by the tack angle (if the tack angle is set to AUTO, the G-PILOT will use the default tack angle of 100°). The boat sails straight while the G-PILOT 3100 counts down the tack delay. The unit gives a long beep at 60 and 30 seconds to go, a short beep every second from 10 seconds to 1 second to go and a long beep that finishes when the countdown ends. To cancel the tack at any time, press ESC Heading = 45° CTS = 45° Press AUTO + < to initiate a tack to port 3 seconds to go until the tack starts WARNING: In Compass mode auto tack, the course to steer changes by the tack angle.
