3.3 Working with Routes

A route is made up of a series of waypoints (maximum 50). To make a
route you place a series of waypoints on the chart.
When a route is created it becomes the current route and is displayed
on-screen. The current route is maintained when you power-off. Only
one route can be current and is displayed (if it is in the field-of-view) as
solid lines connecting waypoints. If you are following the route, the
current leg is shown as a dotted line and previous legs are removed from
the screen (although the waypoints remain displayed). The current route
(and its waypoints) is transferred via SeaTalk to a repeater chart display
and other instruments. You can also use the Waypoint Transfer
functions to transfer the route database to a repeater display.
Once you have created a route you can use the GOTO soft keys to
follow the route. In addition, the GOTO default soft key provides various
options as described in Section 3.4.
Up to 20 routes can be saved in the route database. You can then select
a route from the database list as the current route.
The current route can be edited by adding and moving waypoints. The
current route is always placed in the database list as route number 0, so
you can edit the current route without affecting the original route in the
database. Once a route has been saved, options are also provided to
name a route, erase a route and to display route details.
You can use the route information to review your passage plan by
adjusting the planned Speed Over Ground (SOG).
Notes:
1. The route database is stored locally, in the display unit on which it
was created. Although the current route is automatically transferred, you
need to use the WAYPOINT TRANSFER function, described in Section
3.5, to transfer the complete route database to a repeater display.
2. It is possible for the current route to be overwritten by a route from
another unit on an integrated system, so it is advisable to save all routes.
