4.2 Creating an Alternate Route
During voyage only, you can create an alternate route while referring to the current route on the screen.
The alternate route can be saved as a TEMP file, or by naming a new route name.
The alternate route can be created in the same manner as for making a route using the Graphic Editor.
The operation buttons and the special menu for creating an alternate route are exactly the same as those
for the Graphic Editor. So, the same explanation is omitted here. For omitted information, see 4.1.3
“Route Planning Using the Graphic Editor”. You can use EBL/VRM in the same way as for the Graphic
Editor, though the explanation is omitted here.
Note:
• Whether the alternate route is replaced with the original route or not depends the saving methods.
- When you left-click the [Save] button and then [Close] button after you made the alternate route,
the original route is replaced with the alternate route. (In this case, the alternate route file name is
“TEMP”.)
Normally, you will use this method for alternate route.
- When you saved as a new file using the “Save as” menu, the alternate route is not replaced with
the original route. (For details, see (3) “Saving the alternate route file” in 4.2.2 “Creating
Alternate Route”.)

The original route is replaced with the alternate route.
(If you simply want to save the alternate route file and you are not intending to

route remains as it is. For details, see (3) “Saving the alternate route file” in
4.2.2 “Creating Alternate Route”.)
