Functions Available When You Follow a Route

5.4.1

Restart navigation

When you follow a route, you can restart
the navigation to the next point on the
route from current location.
When you steer to keep away from an
obstruction or the vessel drifts, you go off
course, like shown with Line 1 in the fig-
ure. If you do not need to return to the
original course, you can go to the desired
point from the current position as shown
in Line 2 in the figure.
Put the cursor on the dashed line in the route then press the ENT key to show the con-
text-sensitive menu. Select [RESTART] then press the ENT key. The route start posi-
tion moves to the current position and the XTE becomes zero.
5.4.2

Follow a route in reverse order

You can follow the route points of a route in reverse order. This feature is useful when
you want to retrace a route.
Put the cursor on the dashed line in the route then press the ENT key to show the con-
text-sensitive menu. Select [REVERSE] then press the ENT key. The arrows on the
route now point in the opposite direction.
5.4.3

Stop following a route

Put the cursor on the dashed line in a route then press the ENT key to show the con-
text-sensitive menu. Select [STOP] then press the ENT key. The arrival area, XTE
alarm lines are erased and the color of the lines connecting the route points or the
route changes to blue.
5.4.4

Skip a leg in a route

When you don't need to follow all route legs in a route you can skip unnecessary ones.
After you select the leg to skip, the route is re-drawn, with the skipped leg removed.
Put the cursor on the route point to skip then press the ENT key to show the context-
sensitive menu. Select [SKIP] then press the ENT key.
