Chapter 3: Waypoints, Routes and Tracks
Advancing to a Waypoint
Once you are following a route, you can advance to the next waypoint,
even if you have not reached the current target waypoint:
1. If necessary, press the GOTO default soft key to display the Goto/
GOTO
Follow soft keys.
STOP
FOLLOW
2. Press the WAYPOINT ADVANCE soft key. The current leg of the
WAYPOINT
ADVANCE
route is abandoned and the the next waypoint becomes the target.
The display is updated to show the new route leg.
Restart Cross Track Error (XTE)
Whilst you are following a route, or going to a target point, you can restart
the XTE. This sets the XTE to zero and moves the origin to the actual
vessel position.
Reset XTE is useful if you find yourself off track and want to go straight to
your target, rather than get back onto the original track.
To restart XTE:
1. Press the GOTO default softkey, the Follow/Goto soft keys are
GOTO
displayed.
2. Press the RESTART XTE soft key. The current vessel position the
RESTART
XTE
waypoint.
Going To an Individual Target Point
Rather than following a route, you can go directly to a selected target
point, this can be an existing waypoint (not in the current route), or the
cursor position.
To navigate directly to an existing waypoint:
1. Use the trackpad to position the cursor over the required waypoint
until the letters WPT and the waypoint soft keys are displayed.
GOTO
WAYPOINT
Alternatively, you can select the waypoint from the waypoint list as
described in section 3.2
