Geometry check of route

When you add a new waypoint, modify a waypoint or change other waypoint data, the
message "Impossible turn at WPT" may appear (in red). It means that the geometry
of route makes it impossible for the ship to sail along a certain leg. Typically it is
enough if you do the following, on the [Waypoints] page.
• Decrease the radius of turn of the waypoint or one of its neighbors.
• Increase the radius of turn of the waypoint or one of its neighbors.
• Change lat/lon position of the waypoint or one of its neighbors.
Note: If the above-mentioned remedies do not remove the "Impossible turn at WPT
"indication, try changing the planned speed.
