How to check your route against chart alerts

Before you sail your route, you should always check your route against chart alerts. This is important because your
S57 charts and manual updates may contain chart viewing dates information. You can check chart alerts from the
Check page on the Plan Route dialog box. You can access this dialog box by clicking Route in the status bar,
clicking the Plan button (to show the Plan Route dialog box) then clicking the Check tab.
The following information is stored with the route during route planning:
•
Conditions for chart alerts during route monitoring, which include safety contour and other chart alerts.
•
Name of the user chart to use during route monitoring together with the planned route.
•
Name of the Notes to use during route monitoring together with the planned route.

How to recalculate timetable and ETA values

Timetable and ETA values can be recalculated from the Parameters page in the Plan Route dialog box. Minimally,
set ETD to equal departure time, and perform desired optimization.
After checking the chart alerts and setting the ETD, cancel selection of the planned route in order to enable the
selection of it as the route to be monitored. You can do this with "Unselect" in the Plan Route menu, or "Exchange
with Monitor" on the same sub menu to select it directly as monitored route.
