Narrative:
On takeoff runway 15 bur behind a B737; we encountered its wake turbulence. Accidentally bumped the navigation mode switch from heading to navigation mode. The switches are right next to each other. The airplane turned off the SID heading towards the next waypoint. At that time we came about 3 miles from the departed B737. Corrective action were taken immediately after realizing what happened. We were always VMC and had the B737 in sight no TA/RA was triggered.

Title: Hawker 800 flight crew reported a track deviation occurred when the NAV mode switch was inadvertently activated following a wake turbulence encounter departing BUR.
Narrative: On takeoff Runway 15 BUR behind a B737; we encountered its wake turbulence. Accidentally bumped the NAV mode switch from HDG to NAV mode. The switches are right next to each other. The airplane turned off the SID heading towards the next waypoint. At that time we came about 3 miles from the departed B737. Corrective action were taken immediately after realizing what happened. We were always VMC and had the B737 in sight no TA/RA was triggered.
