with Route Plan menu. (If the menu does not appear, place the cursor on the triangle in the dialog box.) Choose
Create from the menu and push the thumbwheel.
2. Enter a name (max. 30 alphanumeric characters) for the route by spinning the thumbwheel to choose character
desired and confirming desired character by pushing the thumbwheel. When name is ready, click the OK
button.
3. Check Enable changes in the Plan Route dialog box. Choose position of a waypoint by placing the cursor on the
location desired on the electronic chart display and then pushing the left mouse button. After entering a
waypoint, edit Name, Steering mode, Radius, Channel limit and Speed (Min, Max) as appropriate in the Plan
Route dialog box. (Place the cursor on an item, spin the thumbwheel to change value and then push the
thumbwheel.) Do this for all waypoints of your route.
4. Use the Alarms page to define safety contour and other specified conditions for checking the route. Choose item
from a list and then click Indication (to get a visual indication), Alarm (to get the audible alarm) or Ignore (to
remove check item) button as appropriate.
5. Use the Check page to detect areas where depth is less than the safety contour or where specified conditions
exist. The ECDIS can examine chart database against planned route to make a list of alarms where a route
crosses a safety contour or specified areas used in chart alarms. To create a list of alarms, click the Start button.
6. Use the Params page to enter Estimated Time of Departure (ETD) and Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA), if you
are using Time table optimizing. Choose desired optimizing mode from the Optimize window.
To print a waypoint report, open the Plan Route dialog box, place the cursor on the triangle to show the Plan Route
menu, choose Report or Full Report from the menu and then push the thumbwheel. Click the Print Text button. (If
you want to change the font size, place the cursor on the triangle, choose font size and then push the thumbwheel,
before clicking the Print Text button.)
