6.3.1 Route following optimization

Under normal route navigation (without optimization), the vessel is required to approach a
waypoint within a certain distance (arrival radius) in order for the route to advance to the next
waypoint.
With the "Route Following Optimization" option, the route is constantly recalculated (optimized)
to allow automatic advancement to the next waypoint, even if the vessel never gets within the
waypoint arrival zone. In this way "Route Optimization" can be thought of a "close enough"
feature when absolute route following precision is not required.
By default the arrival radius is 0.05 NM, but it can be changed in the General Settings:
1. Press [MENU] on any page
2. Select "General Settings" and press [ENTER]
3. Select "Navigation" and press [ENTER]
4. Select "Arrival circles radius" and press [ENTER]
5. Select the desired distance in the wheel selector and press [ENTER]
