64 C-Series Display Reference Manual
Following a route
When you are following a route the active route is shown on all chart windows. When
the distance to the next waypoint in the route is less than that specified for the arrival
alarm radius (see
page 188
), or your boat reaches the closest point of approach to the
target (defined by a line passing through the waypoint and perpendicular to the route
leg), a warning dialog is displayed and an alarm sounds (see
page 57
). Once the alarm
is acknowledged the next waypoint is selected, the display updates to indicate the
next leg of the route and the system sends the new navigation data to the autopilot.
There are several ways to select the follow route option:
• Using Quick Route.
• Using the cursor.
• Via the route list.
• In reverse order.
Note:
You can stop following an active route at any time by pressing
STOP FOLLOW
