Information from route monitoring:
• Plan Speed: Planned speed to approach “To WP”.

• Route: Calculated set course to follow the monitored
route, including off track, drift and gyro error

• Ch limit: Planned width of channel to approach “To
WP”.
• Off track: Perpendicular distance the ship is from the

• Next: Planned course between “To WP” and “Next
WP”.
• Turn rad: Planned turning radius at “To WP”.
• Turn rate: Calculated rate of turn which is based on

The following information is calculated from data of
positioning sensors and from route monitoring data:
• Route
• Off track
• Dist WOP
• Time
• Next
Additional textual information is available if any of the
following steering modes are in use:
• “Goto WP”, “Goto WP Great circle”, “Ass. Turn

mode
• “Goto Track”, “Track Great circle” and “Track

• “Outside channel” is indicated by displaying the
indication “Off track” in red and its value in
