Creating a route
To create a route, insert at least one waypoint taking the boat's current
position as a starting point. To insert one waypoint at any time, press
GOTO and select one of the options displayed. A waypoint will be inserted
on the selected position and the route initially composed by a leg con-
necting the boat's position to the target waypoint selected. If you want to
enter additional waypoints, press GOTO and select one of the options
available; the new waypoint will be appended to the existing route. To
insert, move or delete waypoints (e.g. to go round obstacles or change
the route plan), activate the route editing function (see the following
pages).
NOTE: Since the GEONAV is able to manage only one route at a time, the creation of a new route
will automatically delete the route previously entered.
Route to the manual cursor position
Press CURSOR to enter the Cursor mode.
Press GOTO, select the CURS option and
press ENTER.
The GEONAV will insert a new waypoint in
the cursor position and append a new leg
to the existing route; if no waypoint had
been previously entered, the leg will be
connected to the boat's position.
The GEONAV will automatically activate
the Autozoom function as soon as it is
switched to Navigation mode.
Route to a marker
Press GOTO and select the MARK option by
the CURSOR key. The GEONAV will display
the marker catalog (the latest 6 markers
used will be highlighted at the top of the
screen) thus allowing selecting the desired
target marker.
Select a marker and press ENTER to con-
firm the operation.
The GEONAV will insert a waypoint in the marker position and will ap-
pend the new leg to the existing route; if no route is available, the new
waypoint will be connected to the boat's position. By pressing PAGE, the
GEONAV will automatically activate the Autozoom function as soon as it
is switched to Navigation mode.

Route to a port
Press GOTO and select the PORT option by
the CURSOR key.
The GEONAV will display the port catalog
(the latest 6 ports used will be highlighted
at the top of the screen), thus allowing se-
lecting the desired port.
Select a port and press ENTER to confirm
the operation.
The GEONAV will insert a waypoint in the port position and will append
the new leg to the existing route; if no route is available, the new waypoint
will be connected to the boat's position.
By pressing PAGE, the GEONAV will automatically activate the Autozoom
function as soon as it is switched to Navigation mode.
Route to the nearest service
NOTE: This option is available only with the NAVIONICS
cartridges containing the Port Services feature.
Press GOTO and select the NEAR option by
the CURSOR key; the GEONAV will display
the port services catalog, thus allowing se-
lecting the desired service.
Select the desired service, press ENTER to
confirm or PAGE to exit. The GEONAV will
display the three ports nearest to the boat's
position (if in Navigation mode) or to the
manual cursor (if in Cursor mode) contain-
ing the selected service.
By pressing the CURSOR key, highlight one port at a time and check the
relevant distance and time to arrive (estimated on the boat's current
speed). Press ENTER to confirm the selection.
The GEONAV will insert a waypoint in the port position and will append
the new leg to the existing route, if in Cursor mode, or delete the existing
route and create a new one if in Navigation mode; if no route is available,
before activating the NEAR function, the new leg will connect the waypoint
to the boats' position, if in Navigation mode, or to the manual cursor if in
Cursor mode.
The GEONAV will automatically activate the Autozoom function as soon
as it is switched to Navigation mode.
