Target Point Arrival

You can set up target alarms (see Chapter 4) to alert you when the

vessel is approaching the target point. The arrival alarm is defined as a

circle (not visible on the screen), with a specified radius around the

target.

The alarm is triggered when either of the following conditions is met:

• The distance to the target point is less than that specified for the

Arrival alarm.

• Your vessel reaches the closest point of approach to the target (that

is, it crosses the perpendicular to the track, and through the target).

➤

To cancel the Arrival alarm and go towards the next waypoint in the

route,

either

press any key

or

wait for 10 seconds.

The target becomes the origin, the next waypoint becomes the target

point, and the two are connected by a dotted line indicating the current

leg. Any previous route leg is removed from the screen, but waypoints

remain.

Altering the Route

You can use the soft keys to follow a route from a selected waypoint

(Join a route), or if already following, you can advance to the next

waypoint. You can also restart the cross track error, setting the current

vessel position as the new origin.

In addition, you can move a selected waypoint as described in section

3.2, or remove a waypoint from the route as described in section 3.3.

Joining a Route

➤

To start tracking the current route at a selected waypoint:

 1. Move the cursor over the required waypoint until the letters WPT and

the waypoint soft keys are displayed.

2. Press the FOLLOW FROM HERE soft key.

Your vessel follows the route, using the selected waypoint as the

target point.

3. To return to the default display, move the cursor away from the

waypoint or press CLEAR.
