8.1 ROUTE PLANNING
ECDIS has sophisticated route planning capabilities.
During route planning, each route section is automatically checked for free and
safe passage of the ship. The automatically check−up comprises Prohibited
Areas, Own Ship's Contours, Buoys and Beacons known from and indicated in
the sea charts (CM93/3, S57).
In case a dangerous situation is realized during route planning, a corresponding
alarm is displayed in the Alarm Window (see chapter 8.2.1.1).
ECDIS displays waypoints as circles. The active waypoint has an additional
circle around it. If you label your waypoints, the labels appear below the marker.
When a route is established, the following information is automatically displayed:
Edition: 30.MAR.2007
Operator Manual
1. A planned track (course line) between the waypoints (is red in color and
appears as a thick dashed line between waypoints and a dashed line
between the ship and the active waypoint).
Using the route planning feature, a primary as well as a secondary route
can be created. The route priority can be selected via menu function as
needed.
The primary route is displayed in thick, red, dashed lines.
The secondary route is displayed in thin, red, dashed lines.
2. The planned turning arc/radius (red in color); the turning arc which was
established when you entered the waypoint.
The turning arc/radius is limited to maximum 135°.
This limit value is checked during route planning and if this limit is ex−
ceeded an error message is released.
3. Crosstrack limit boundaries: width defined by the current cross−track
error alarm setting.
4. The wheelover point, or the point at which own ship must start turning to
follow the predicted turning arc.
