When set to automatic, the 972 displays
the new distance and bearing information
for the next waypoint when you arrive at
the previous one. It immediately stops
navigating when you pass a lone waypoint
or the last waypoint in a route.
You may want to switch waypoints
manually if you're maneuvering around a
waypoint in search of a lobster trap, or
trying to find a buoy in a thick fog. Manual
switching lets you keep a continuous
display of distance and bearing informa-
tion for the current waypoint. With manual
switching, you must manually change to
the next waypoint every time you arrive at
the current waypoint:
1. Press STEER and then
2. Select the next leg or waypoint if necessary.
3. Press
NOTE:
For instructions on changing the waypoint
