5. DESTINATION
Destination can be set four ways: by cursor, by waypoint, by route and by MOB posi-
tion. Previous destination is cancelled whenever a new destination is set. The setting
by MOB position is described in chapter 1. When setting a destination, a blue line is
shown between own boat and the destination selected. Also, the range and bearing
from own boat to the destination are shown at the left-hand side of the screen.
5.1 How to Set Destination by Cursor Position
You can set a destination at the position with no waypoint. This destination is called
“Quick Point”.
1. On the plotter display, operate the cursorpad to place the cursor on the location
desired for destination.
2. Press the GO TO key to enter the waypoint as the quick point.
The quick waypoint is shown with a green solid circle, and named as "QP". This
point is saved in the waypoint list automatically.
3. Cancel the destination, referring to section 5.4, when arriving at the waypoint.
Note: The quick point set is erased when a new one is entered.
