78 E-Series Networked Display Reference Manual
Following a route
When you are following a route the active route is shown on all chart windows. On a
networked system, an active route is shown and can be controlled from all the displays.
When the distance to the next waypoint in the route is less than that specified for the
arrival alarm radius (see
page 289
), or your boat reaches the closest point of approach
to the target (defined by a line passing through the waypoint and perpendicular to the
route leg), a warning dialog is displayed and an alarm sounds (see
page 71
). Once the
alarm is acknowledged the next waypoint is selected, the display updates to indicate
the next leg of the route and the system sends the new navigation data to the
autopilot.
There are several ways to select the follow route option:
• Using Quick Route.
• Using the cursor.
• Via the route list.
• In reverse order.
Note:
You can stop following an active route at any time by pressing
STOP FOLLOW
.
