Chapter 4: Using the Chartplotter 73
4.6 Navigating to a Specific Point
You can use your Chartplotter to navigate to a specific point marked by the cursor
or to a waypoint. When you are steering manually, you can also use the
chartplotter to determine the bearing or direction to steer.
Go to the cursor position
Navigating using the cursor is a quick and simple technique that involves
travelling directly to a point selected by the cursor position:
1. Position the cursor at the desired destination.
2. Press GOTO. If you are currently navigating to a waypoint, following a route or
already navigating to the cursor, you will need to press STOP GOTO, before
the system will allow you to go to the position currently marked by the cursor.
3. Press GOTO CURSOR.
• A temporary waypoint entitled GOTO CURSOR is placed at the cursor
position.
• A dashed Bearing from Origin to Destination (BOD) line is drawn between
the vessel’s original position and the temporary waypoint. This line
remains unchanged as the boat moves.
• As the boat’s actual course varies from the original, a blue Bearing from
Vessel to Destination (BVD) line is drawn between your current position
and the waypoint. This line is redrawn as the boat approaches the way-
point.
