5.10 How to Follow a Route
Before you follow a route, make sure that the path to the route is clear. Make sure to
zoom your chart to check for hazards that do not appear on a smaller scale.
5.10.1 How to follow an on-screen route
1. Tap a route leg of the route to follow to show the pop-up menu.
2. Tap [Start Nav]. The route now looks something like the one show in the figure
below.
The following occurs:
• The color of the route becomes purple, and arrows on the route point in the direction
in which to follow the route.
• The Goto point (1st route point) is highlighted.
• A solid purple line with arrows connects between current position and the points on
the route. This line indicates the set course. A solid yellow line runs between runs
between current position and the destination. This line shows the shortest distance
to the destination.
• Points are switch according the waypoint switching mode set on the menu. To se-
lect the mode, go to the Home screen, then tap [Settings]→[Routes]→ [WPT Switch
Mode]. Select [Circle and Cross Line], [Circle], or [Cross Line] as appropriate.
• The XTE lines, red for port side, green for starboard side, appear. You can show or
hide these lines and set their width with [Display XTE Lines] and [XTE Value] re-
spectively in [Routes] menu.
Note: If you want to be notified when you reach a Goto point, turn on [Waypoint Cross-
ing Notification] on [Routes] of the menu (see subsection 5.11.8). Then the message
"Waypoint Crossing" appears when you reach a Goto point. For the arrival timing, see
subsection 5.11.5.
