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