Route Planning

The system will calculate chart alarms using operator-defined channel limit for routes. Danger areas are shown
highlighted if safety contour or operator-chosen chart alarm areas are crossed by the planned route. For more
information on route planning, see Chapter 13 Route Planning.
Note: If your voyage is going to take a long time or you are planning it much earlier than it is to take place, use
display and approve dates corresponding to the dates you are going to sail.
You can generate a list of chart alarms that cross by the planned route. This can be done as follows:
1. Enter safety contour you want to use. See section 11.2.1 Choosing safety contour.
2. Plan a route; define waypoints and other necessary information. See Chapter 13 Route Planning.
3. Choose dangerous objects to be monitored during route monitoring, on the Alarms page in the Plan Route
dialog box, shown below.
a) Open the Plan Route dialog box by selecting UserChart-Plan from the status bar.
b) Click the Alarms tab.
c) Check the Enable changes box, then click the alarm to process from the Ignore during monitoring list then
click the Indication or Alarm button as appropriate to choose what type of alarm you want.
4. Click the Check tab then click the Start button to generate a list of chart alarms.
The system will check a route leg by leg and when finished you will see the number of Legs and Alarms below
the tab buttons.
The figure above shows the alarms to be monitored. If there are alarms included in the planned route, check
alarms leg by leg, or check alarms by using category of alarm.
