Lit and the special function Orbit has been enabled. The
waypoint will be on your port side if you use the [Left
Chevron] button.

If you press and release the GPS button when the autopilot is in heading hold and the
GPS does not have an active route, the pilot will maintain the GPS course over ground
instead of the magnetic heading. Be aware that the course over ground calculated by
the GPS is erratic at low speeds.
All the special function and turn buttons will continue to behave as if you are in normal
heading hold. If you use any of the normal turning buttons, course over ground hold is
terminated.
If you press and release the [GPS button] when the autopilot is in heading hold and
the GPS has an active route, the pilot will steer to the selected waypoint.
If you are more than 1,000 ft off the course line, the pilot will steer directly at the
waypoint and not try to remove crosstrack error.
Cancel GPS navigation and return to heading hold by pressing the [Right Arrow] or
[Left Arrow] button
