inal source material used in producing such charts. Always remember that you should
navigate with the most detailed and up-to-date chart available from FURUNO, and
new information from National Hydrographic Offices may render your charts obsolete
at any time. Easy Routing is only an aid to navigation and must be used in conjunction
with conventional navigation practices. As the navigator of your boat, you are respon-
sible for reviewing the suggested route against the official nautical publications and sit-
uational awareness. You must edit and/or approve the suggested route before using
it for navigation purposes.
How to set the safe values for Easy Routing
Follow the procedure below to set the safe values to use in Easy Routing.
1. From the [Home] screen, tap [Settings] => [Routes] => [Easy Routing].
2. [Depth] is the minimum safe depth, namely, your boat's draft.
3. [Height] is the minimum safe height, namely, the height of your boat.
4. [Width] is the minimum width of the path.
5. [Timeout] is the amount of time to wait before exiting the Easy Routing function,
when it cannot create a route.
6. [Safe Margin] is the minimum distance (300 m) between a dangerous/not naviga-
ble area and your boat. This area could be land or a body of water. Turn it on to
honor this distance.
7. Turn off [Respect Draft] if you want to disregard the depths that are shallower than
the [Safe Depth] setting.
How to create a route with Easy Routing
1. Tap the point to use as the Easy Route destination. The context menu appears.
2. Select [Easy Routing]. The system checks if there is an active route and if the des-
tination is within the 100 NM distance limit.
If a route is active, a confirmation message appears asking if you want to change
the destination. Select [YES] or [NO] as appropriate.
Further, if the selected destination is outside the 100 NM limit, a message ap-
pears informing that the destination must be less than 100 NM away.
If the destination passes both checks, the system calculates a route to the select-
ed destination.
3. When route calculation is complete, a confirmation message appears asking if
you want to start navigation, or save the destination as a new point.
Select [Start Nav] to begin navigation to the selected destination. The Easy Route
is saved and navigation begins.
If you saved the route, the Start and Destination flags and the route remain on the
screen. If you exited without saving the route, the flags and route are removed. The
flags and route are also removed when the power is turned off.
