changed the steering mode selection switch from NAVI to AUTO or HAND.

iv
When deflection is in the position data between two GPS and changing GPS,
position shift error might occur and bearing might be changed a lot.
When changing GPS, Change GPS after changing steering mode switch to
HAND.

When deflection is in the heading data between two Gyros and changing Gyro,
bearing might be changed a lot.
When changing Gyro, Change Gyro after changing steering mode switch to HAND.

When bow turns to down of screen in North-UP or True motion mode, Joystick
operation may be accidentally steered to right-and-left contrary.
Operate Joystick on the basis of bow.

To start Planned Turn mode, the start operation is necessary by [OK/START]

button.
If [OK/START] button is not pressed, bearing is kept.
Do not keep carried out in the state.
