How to skip a waypoint
On a voyage similar to the below example, you may want to skip a waypoint to save
time. You can skip the next waypoint on the current leg of your route by using the pro-
cedure below.
1. Open the menu.
2. Select [8 NAV LINE•WPT]. The [8 NAV LINE•WPT] menu appears.
3. Select [4 SKIP NEXT WPT].
4. Close the menu.
How to set the route width
You can set a width for each route (NAV LINE). For example, if you
set a 5 NM route width, the route width is 5 NM to port and star-
board, with the own ship as the center. The route width is displayed
as orange dotted lines to either side of the route line.
On B-type radars, if your vessel deviates from the route and passes
the route width, an alert is released and the message "XTD LIMIT
EXCEED" appears in the Alert box. To acknowledge this alert,
press the ALERT ACK key, or click the Alert box.
To set a route width, do the following:
1. Open the menu.
2. Select [8 NAVLINE•WPT].
3. Select [5 NAV LINE WIDTH].
4. Spin the scrollwheel, or use the numeric keys, to set a width for
the route. To disable the route width alert and hide the route
width lines, set the width to [0.00 NM].
Note: This width is applied to all routes.
5. Close the menu.
