5.2 Routes

A route is a series of waypoints typically used to assist with passage
planning and navigation.
A route is displayed on screen as a series of waypoints linked by a
line.
Route features
There are a range of route features for building, navigating and
managing routes.
Route features are accessed from:
• the chart application — by positioning the cursor over an
existing route on the chart.
• the chart application — by using the Navigation Options
softkey.
• the home screen — by selecting My Routes. This displays the
Routes list.
The route features allow you to:
• Build a temporary route for immediate use (Quick Route).
Using waypoints, routes and tracks
• Build and save a route for use when required (stored in the route
list).
• Navigate (follow) routes.
• Manage and edit routes stored on the system.
You can also build a route from an existing track. Select the My
Tracks icon to access track functions on the home screen.
Route building
A route can consist of a combination of:
• New waypoints which you place on the screen as required and/or
• existing waypoints selected from a list displayed on screen.
Note: A route can also be created from a track.
As each waypoint is added, it is assigned an index number
corresponding to its position in the route and drawn on the chart
using the currently specified symbol. The following should be noted:
• When a route is being built it is not active and does not affect
any current navigation.
• You cannot save a new route if any of the waypoints within it are
currently active.
