Simrad CS66
94 20221859 / F
8.1 General
When the CS system is set up and charts installed according to
instructions in the previous pages, the system will display the
vessel in real time on the chart. The vessel’s position will
continuously be determined in relation to land, charted objects,
aids-to-navigation, and unseen hazards.
The system may be used as a monitoring system, or by sailing
manually along a predefined route as described in the following
sections.
8.2 Creating and sailing along a quick route
The CS66 offers a sail to position function by creating a route
from the vessel’s current position to a cursor position.
Use the following procedure to start the quick route function:
1 Select the Navigation menu followed by the Create
Quick Route command. The function may also be started
by tapping the F1 key or the QUICK ROUTE key on the
optional COP30.
− The first waypoint will now be
located at the vessel position.
2 Continue entering waypoints by
moving the cursor to new positions
and pressing the left cursor key.
− Waypoints may be moved, added
and removed when the route is
created as described in page 88
onwards.
If the quick route is created in a dangerous area, it is
recommended to have the route automatically checked as the
waypoints are entered. This function is enabled by selecting the
Navigation menu followed by the Check Quick Route
command.
Active function is indicated with a tick in front of the command
as shown on the figure.
The quick route function is aborted by tapping the Navigation
menu followed by the Cancel Quick Route command.
