3.4 Following Routes and Going to Points

The default soft key GOTO accesses the functions to FOLLOW a route
and GOTO a waypoint or cursor. When you select the target destination,
the chartplotter calculates bearing, distance and cross track error; this
information is passed to a helmsman or autopilot. You can also restart
the cross track error (XTE) from the actual vessel position to set XTE to
zero at that point.
ROUTE
When the chartplotter is following a route, the target destination is
indicated by a square around the waypoint (or cursor marker) and a
dotted line shows the intended track, from your start point or previous
waypoint, to the target waypoint.
This section explains how to perform the following tasks:
• Follow a route either forwards, or in reverse order.
• Target Point Arrival
• Altering the route, including joining at a selected waypoint, advancing
waypoints, and restarting XTE.
• Go to an individual point, either an existing waypoint or the cursor.
• Stop and Restart Follow/Goto.
An alarms is triggered when you approach a waypoint, this section
describes what happens when you arrive at waypoints. Chapter 4
describes how to set the alarm.
Whilst you are following a route the chartplotter can display the vessel's
actual track and the track can be recorded for later display. The Track
function is described in the Section 3.5.
