Operator's Manual
There are two RTEscreens. The NAV functions are highly interactive
with the RTEl screen. The RTE2 screen allows you to create a pool of
.predetermined routes that you might use often, so you need only
create the route one time. Routes are created from waypoints. All
waypoints are stored in the Waypoint Bank, regardless ofwhich func-
tion is used to create them. Waypoints are either created in the
Waypoint Bank (wpTl), created by the GOTO function, selected
froni the PLOT screens in conjunction with the GOTO function, or
from New Waypoints that can be defined in the Route Insert menu
(and-simultaneously.stored.in.the route and the Waypoint Bank).

We recognize the diverse needs of professional users. We have de-
signed the route features to be very flexible to meet a wide range of
users' requirements by allowing up to 2000 waypoints to be stored
between all of the routes. You can create up to 100 routes, with any
number of waypoints, providing the maximum number of 2000
waypoints between all routes is not exceeded.
The Route (RTE) function serves two purposes:
1.
The RTEI screen provides all of the current, or active waypoint
navigation data to the Navigate andPlot screens and is referred to
as the Active Route. Therefore, whenever you begin a new trip or
voyage, you should erase the previous voyage's waypoints in this
screen, then insert the new waypoints or routes (from RTE2) for
the new voyage. If you- want to store the waypoints from the
previous active route for future use, you can copy these waypoints
in the order in which they were entered to the Route Bank in the
RTE2 screen. This is described in the RTE2 - The Route Bank
section ofthis manual. Ifyou do not clear theRTEI screen (referto
Erasing an Existing Route section ofthis manual), theRTEI screen
will grow each time you add new waypoints to the route. The route
function can hold a maximum of2,000 waypoints between the routes
stored in RTEI and RTE2.
2. The RTE2 screen provides storage space for up to 100 user defined
routes. You can pre-define routes, or copy new routes from the
RTEI (active route) screen. Later you can choose individual routes
or link two or more routes in the RTEI screen (refer to Creating a
Multi-Waypoint Active Route section of this manual). When you
