Autoroute - Raymarine LIGHTHOUSE 4 Operation Instructions Manual

Autoroute

Autoroute is available when using compatible cartography. Autoroute allows
you to build a route automatically between a point on the chart and your
vessel.
You can select any point on the Chart and from the Chart context menu
select [Autoroute to here] or you can select [Autoroute to] from an existing
waypoint's context menu to create a route automatically between your vessel
and the chosen point.
The created route is generated by comparing data available on your
cartography against the minimum safe distances specified in the [Boat
details] menu: ([Homescreen > Settings > Boat details]).
Waypoints will not be placed in areas that conflict with your specified
minimum safe distances. Caution symbols are used for waypoints that are
near objects or restricted areas.
Never follow a route before checking each route leg is safe for your vessel.

Warning: Automatic route generation
• Do NOT rely on automatically generated routes to guarantee
that the route is safe to navigate. You MUST review the
suggested route carefully and where necessary edit the
route before following it.
• If a waypoint within any automatically generated route is
added or moved the Automatic route generation algorithm
will NOT be used, extra care should be taken to ensure that
the route leg and any moved waypoints are safe to navigate.
Caution: Easy Routing - Dredged areas
The C-MAP ® Easy Routing feature will ignore some hazards in
dredged areas. Easy Routing is intended for passage planning
between harbors rather than within a harbor.
Warning: Traffic separation
Automatic route generation features do not adhere to the
Traffic Separation Schemes identified in Rule 10 of the
International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea
1972 as amended.
Raymarine® therefore recommends that you do NOT use
Automatic route generation to create any part of a route
which will cross traffic lanes or pass near to traffic separation
lines. In these situations Automatic route generation MUST
be switched Off and the route or route leg MUST be built
manually, ensuring compliance to the rules laid out in the
above regulations.
