Chapter 10 Route Planning.
Checking your route against chart alerts
Before you sail your route, you should always check your route against chart alerts. This is important because your
S57 charts and manual updates may contain chart viewing dates information. You can check chart alerts from the
Check page on the Plan Route menu. You can access this menu by placing the cursor on Route in the status bar,
clicking the Plan button to show the Plan Route menu and clicking the Check tab.
The following information is stored with the route during route plan:
• Conditions for chart alerts during route monitoring, which includes safety contour and other chart alerts.
• Name of the user chart to be used during route monitoring together with this planned route.
• Name of the Notes to be used during route monitoring together with this planned route.

To store selections on the Alerts page, click the Start button. Also, the name of the user chart and the name of
Notes, which were selected as planning mode, are stored in this route.
Recalculating timetable and ETA values
Timetable and ETA values can be recalculated from the Parameters page in the Plan Route menu. Minimally set
ETD to equal departure time, and perform desired optimization.
After checking the chart alerts and setting the ETD, cancel selection of the planned route in order to enable the
selection of it as the route to be monitored, using "Unselect" in the Plan Route menu, or use "Exchange with
Monitored" on the same sub menu to select it directly as monitored route.
