Trolling Motor Settings
From the trolling motor bar, select .
Calibrate: Calibrates the trolling motor compass (Calibrating the
Trolling Motor Compass, page 31) and sets the trolling
motor bow offset (Setting the Bow Offset, page 31).

direction regardless of drift. The Navigate To option attempts
to navigate a straight line in the requested direction.
Arrival Mode: Sets the behavior of the trolling motor when you
reach the end of a route. With the Anchor Lock setting, the
trolling motor holds the position using the anchor lock feature
when the boat reaches the end of the route. With the Manual
