The Current Route screen lists the waypoints for the current route, showing the
waypoint symbol, sequence number in the route and name for each waypoint.
The box below the list gives the following details for the highlighted waypoint:
• Position, in either latitude and longitude or TDs, depending on your setup.
• Route leg bearing and distance (from waypoint to waypoint or, for the first
waypoint in a route, vessel to waypoint).
If the route is active, the following details are also provided:
• Estimated time of arrival (ETA) at the waypoint
• Total time elapsed since the start of the route
• Total distance covered since the start of the route
The ETA predictions are based on either the current or planned speed over the
ground (SOG), as displayed above the list of waypoints, depending on your
selection.
