In GPS mode, the G-PILOT uses data from a GPS to steerthe boat along a route or to a waypoint.5-1 GPS navigation dataExample of navigating to a waypoint:DestinationDTG (distance)TTG (time)BRG (bearing)SOG (speed)Course error (angle)CTS (bearing)Plotted courseBoatXTE (distance)StartThe boat is sailing from the start to the destination and has moved off the GPS plotted coursefrom the start to the destination:BRG Bearing to destination The bearing to the destination from the boat.Course error The difference between CTS and the boat heading.CTS Course to steer Optimum course to steer to return to the plotted course.DTG Distance to go Distance from the boat to the destination.SOG Speed over ground The current boat speed over the ground. This is not necessarilythe same as the boat speed through the water nor the speedat which the boat is approaching the destination.TTG Time to go The estimated time to reach the destination.XTE Cross track error The distance from the boat to the nearest point of the plottedcourse. XTE may have a letter: R means steer to the right toreturn to the plotted course, L means steer to the left.5 GPS steering modeCOG (bearing)
