youplacea seriesof waypointson thechart,oryou can selectwaypointsfrom
theWaypointList.You can alsosaveyour vessel’s track as you navigate, then
convert the track to a route - this function is described in Section 5.7.
When a route is created it becomes thecurrent route and is displayedon-
screen. The currentroute is maintained when you power-off. Only one route
can be current and is displayed(if it is in the field-of-view)as solid lines
connectingwaypoints.If youare followingthe route,thecurrent leg is shown
as a dottedline and previouslegs are removed from the screen(although the
waypointsremain displayed). The current route (and its waypoints) is
