Autorouting
Autorouting is available when using compatible cartography. Autorouting allows you to build a route
automatically between a point on the chart and your vessel.
Selecting Autoroute to here from the chart context menu, or selecting Autoroute to from an existing
waypoint’s context menu will create a route automatically between your vessel and the chosen point.
The created route is generated by comparing data available on your cartography against the
minimum safe distances specified in the
Boat details menu: (Homescreen > Settings > Boat details).
Waypoints will not be placed in areas that conflict with your specified minimum safe distances.
Caution symbols are used for waypoints that are near objects or restricted areas.
Never follow a route before checking each route leg is safe for your vessel.
Reviewing an automatically generated route
Before following any route you must ensure that it is safe to do so.
Upon Route completion:
1. Range in on each route leg and waypoint that make up the Route.
2. Check either side of the route leg and around the waypoint for any possible obstructions.
Obstructions can be charted objects or restricted areas. Routes generated automatically should
use the caution waypoint symbol in areas where there are possible obstructions.
3. Where obstructions exist move the necessary waypoints so that the waypoint and route leg is
no longer obstructed.
Route management
Routes are managed using the routes and tracks menu.
The
Routes & Tracks menu can be accessed from the Homescreen and from the Chart app:
Homescreen > Routes & Tracks, or Chart app > Menu > Routes & Tracks .
When the routes and tracks menu is opened the routes menu is displayed by default.
