Route
4 - Heading Vector
This vector displays the boat’s current route.
5 - Cursor
It allows moving the manual cursor across the screen; the
relevant geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude)
are displayed in two small windows. When the GEONAV
switches to Navigation mode, the manual cursor
disappears.
How to create a route
To create a route, insert at least one waypoint taking the
boat’s current position as a starting point.
To insert the waypoint at any time, press the CURSOR key and
position the cursor at the desired coordinates, or use the
search options available from the menu (see the following
pages). The route will be initially composed by a leg that
connects the boat’s position to the target waypoint selected.
If you wish to enter additional waypoints, repeat the
operation; once the selection is made, the new waypoint will
be added to the existing route. To insert, move or delete
waypoints (e.g. to go round obstacles or change the route
plan), activate the route editing function (see the following
pages).
NOTE:when turned off, the GEONAV saves automatically the current route and
retrieves it as it is turned on again.
