Route settings
When a new route is created or when a waypoint is added to a route, the system will use the
vessel's performance characteristics defined in the Vessel settings.
The route settings may be set individually when creating or editing a route.
• Turn radius: Each waypoint in a route, except the first and the last, has an associated turn
radius defined. This turn radius will make the ship turn over before the waypoint is
reached.
• Economic speed: Used for calculating estimated time of arrival (ETA). During route
navigation Current speed is used for calculating ETA.
• Maximum speed: Defines the vessel's maximum speed.
• Deviation: Defines the vessel’s offset distance from leg before an alert is given. The
caution and dangerous objects (in the Dangers tab) are also determined by this
parameter.
