Following Routes And Going To Target Points - Raymarine 435i Owner's Handbook Manual

Chapter 5: Operation

5.4 Following Routes and Going to Target Points

The GOTO key accesses the functions to follow a route or go to a
waypoint, port, nearest facility or current cursor position. When the target
destination is selected, the chartplotter calculates bearing, distance and
cross track error; this information can be repeated on other
instrumentation and passed to an autopilot via NMEA. Cross Track Error
(XTE) can be reset to zero from the actual vessel position.
When the chartplotter is following a route, the target destination is
indicated by a square around the waypoint (or cursor marker) and a dotted
line shows the intended track, from the start point or previous waypoint,
to the target waypoint.
This section explains how to perform the following tasks:
