Chapter 4: Using the Chart
4.6 How do I navigate to a specific point?
You can use your Chartplotter to navigate to a specific point marked by the cursor or to
a waypoint. When you are steering manually, you can also use the chartplotter to
determine the bearing or direction to steer.

GOTO...
Navigating using the cursor is a very simple and quick technique that involves
travelling directly to a point selected by the cursor position:
1. Position the cursor at the desired destination
2. Press GOTO. If you are currently navigating to a waypoint, following a route or
already navigating to the cursor, you will need to press STOP GOTO, before the sys-
tem will allow you to go to the position currently marked by the cursor.
3. Press GOTO CURSOR:
• A temporary waypoint entitled
• A dashed line is drawn between your original vessel position and the temporary
waypoint.
• This target waypoint is also identified on the radar.
