The figure below may be used to select the appropriate waypoint
circle on the GPS/chartplotter.
Example: With the speed of 20 knots you should use a waypoint
circle with radius 0.09 NM.
The distance between any waypoints in a route must not be
smaller than the radius of the waypoint arrival circle when
using automatic waypoint shift.

Electronic Chart System (ECS)

An ECS has to be selected as NAV source.
Press the NAV button to activate the NAV prompt display.
The upper half of the prompt display shows the name of the next
waypoint (WP), the bearing to the waypoint (BWW), and the
required course change (Chg) with the direction in which the
vessel will turn.
The lower left portion shows the compass heading and the lower
right portion shows the rudder angle and direction.
Press NAV to accept the first waypoint as the location to steer
towards. The autopilot turns the boat onto the new course while
the display flashes "TURNING".
Accepting the first waypoint as the location to steer towards you
also accept the autopilot to automatically steer the boat through
the route of waypoints. When the autopilot changes the course at
each waypoint, the display flashes "TURNING".
If you wish to confirm the new heading at each waypoint, GPS
has to be selected as NAV source.
A route consists of a series of waypoints joined together with
straight legs. Each waypoint in a route, except the first and the
last, has an associated turn radius defined. This turn radius will
allow the ship to turn before the waypoint is reached.
