What is a Route?

In order to sail from one point to another, it is necessary to change the course several
times.The line that connects any two points on a journey is called a "leg" and the total
legs on a journey is called a "route". When you steer along a route, your NavNet TZ-
Touch2 automatically switches to the next point on the route, and provides information
for steering, such as direction and distance to a point.
The equipment can store a maximum of 200 routes, with a maximum of 500 points per
route. With many routes on-screen, the display can become cluttered. To prevent this,
Inactive routes are collapsed and marked with the "sleeping route" icon, pictured be-
low.
Once you have created a route, you can "navigate" along that route. The route used
for navigation is called the "active route". During route navigation, the route leg cur-
rently being navigated is displayed as a solid purple line with several moving arrows
that move in the direction to follow. Route legs which have been navigated are marked
with a light gray line.
On-screen routes can be edited from the pop-up menu. The following editing features
are available:
• Insert route points in a route
• Move route points in a route
• Delete route points from a route
• Extend a route
• Find information about a route
• Delete a route
• Restart navigation after setting new course
• Follow a route in the reverse direction
Note: Active routes can be shared with other NavNet TZtouch2 units via LAN. Data is
shared automatically; no operation is required.
