14. Route Monitoring
14.1
Introduction
Route monitor is a means for permanent monitoring of the ship's behavior relative to the monitored route. The
information area displays the data on the ship's position relative to the monitored route. The monitored route
consists of the following information, displayed in the electronic chart area:
•
The route is displayed with red dots.
•
The limits of channels of each leg are displayed with solid red lines. These limits are used to detect chart alarms
when you are monitoring the route. For further details, see section 11.2 Chart Alarms.
•
Each leg has information about planned speed, shown inside a rectangle.
•
Each leg has information about planned course to steer.
Note: In order to display charts with correctly updated situation, always use current date as Approve Until and
Display Until during your voyage. If your voyage lasts more than one week, set current date at least once per week
during your voyage. For more information, see section 8.12 Chart Viewing Dates and Seasonal Features of the
