2.10 Navigation
This section shows you how to get to a desired destination by “quick points,”
waypoints, port services and routes.
Note: Reciprocal setting and canceling of destination is available by outputting
the data sentence ZDA from the NavNet unit connected to the navigator.
2.10.1 Navigating to a “quick point”

data indefinitely in your unit’s memory.

You need to tell your unit how to set the quick point: 1 POINT, 35 POINTS (up to
35 points) or 35PTS/PORT SVC. (For how to navigate to points/port services
see “2.10.3 Navigating to ports, port services” on page 2-47.)

A solid line (light-blue on the GD-1700C/1710C) with arrows connects between
own ship and destination, which is marked as “QP<01>” for cursor-selected
location or waypoint name in case of waypoint. Arrows on the line show the
direction to follow to get to the point. Range and bearing from own ship to the
destination appear at the top of screen. The quick point is saved to the waypoint
list as waypoint “QP01.”
