The 941X can be set to advance automatically to the next waypoint upon
arrival at each waypoint, or it can be set to require manual switching.
Manual switching may be desirable when maneuvering around a way-
point to find a lobster trap, or when trying to locate a buoy in dense fog.
It allows you to maintain a constant display of distance and bearing in-
formation for the particular waypoint you are using, until you instruct
the unit otherwise.
When set to automatic switching, the 941X will display new distance and
bearing information for the next waypoint upon arrival at the previous
one. It will immediately stop navigating when a lone waypoint—or the
last waypoint in a route—has been passed.
To change the 941X’s mode of waypoint switching, position the arrow to
the left of the
WAYPOINT SWITCHING
option and press the
EDIT
menu key. Use the cursor arrow key to select AUTO or MANUAL. Press
ENTER
when you are done, or
CLEAR
to leave the option unchanged.
You have “arrived” at a waypoint when you enter the circle determined
by the waypoint’s
ARRIVE RADIUS
, or when you pass the perpendicular
of the end point of the current leg you are following. The 941X will signal
that you have arrived by flashing the alert symbol (flashing exclamation
point) in the lower-right portion of the display. You can either acknowl-
edge the alert by pressing the
STAR
key to display the
ALARMS &
BACKLIGHT
screen, then pressing the
CLEAR ALARM
menu key, or
you can wait until it automatically clears itself once you have left the ar-
rive circle. (See page 68 for more on the 941X’s various alarms.)
