Select the point to go to from the three methods shown below.

• Select the point from a Points list
• Select the point with the cursor
After you have selected a point, you can do the following.

4.11.1 How to go to an On-screen Point
1. Use the CursorPad to select the point.
2. Push the right-click button to show the Points pop-up
menu.
3. Use the RotoKey to select [Go To].
A red dashed line runs between current position and the point. This line is the course
to follow to get to the point. The point arrival area is indicated with a circle, or both cir-
cle and line. You can select the arrival area indication method with [Waypoint Switch-
ing Mode] in the [Routes-General] menu. To receive an aural alarm when you are
within a preset distance, turn on [Waypoint Notification] and set [Switching Circle Ra-
dius] on the [Routes-General] menu. The XTE alarm lines, red for port side, green for
starboard side, show the XTE alarm range. You can show or hide these lines with
[XTE Alarm Lines] in the [Routes-General] menu.
The route is saved to the Routes list under the next route number, but is deleted when
you turn off the system.
