Making a New On-Screen Route
➤ To making a new route using the ROUTE soft key :
1. Move the cursor to the area in which you wish to make the route, and select
a suitable chart scale.
2. Press the ROUTE soft key to display the Route menu and the current route.
Note: If the selected position in the route list contains a route (the full list of
ROUTE options is displayed), you can select ERASE to delete the route (see
page 30), or continue with this procedure to add waypoints to the existing
route.
3. If required, press the SELECT soft key to select an empty position in the list.
4. Press ENTER to select the highlighted Make/Edit option.
The soft key labels change, as shown in the illustration below.
5. Use the trackpad to move the cursor to the position on the chart where you
want your first waypoint to be.
Note: You can position the cursor on an existing waypoint, if required. This
waypoint will be included in the route, and a new waypoint will not be
created.
6. Press the PLACE WPT soft key.
The waypoint appears on the screen at the current cursor position, together
with the waypoint number assigned by the chartplotter.
The first waypoint of a new route has a circle round the waypoint symbol,
indicating that it will be the active waypoint if the route is made active.
The cursor data box and object data box are updated to show the waypoint
number and position, as shown in the example below.
7. Move the cursor to the next waypoint position. A dotted line connects the
cursor to the previous waypoint.
8. Press PLACE WPT again. The waypoint is placed and the dotted line changes
to a solid line.
Note: If you make a mistake, you can delete a wrongly-placed waypoint or
insert an additional one, as described below.
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 until you have placed all your waypoints. You can
have up to 50 waypoints in a route.
