Chapter 3: Operation 3-37
• The distance to the target point is less than that specified for the
Arrival alarm.
• Your vessel reaches the closest point of approach to the target
(defined by an imaginary circle around the waypoint).
➤ To cancel the Arrival alarm and go towards the next waypoint in the
route, either:
• Press any key
or...
• Wait for 10 seconds.
If another leg exists, the target becomes the origin, the next waypoint
becomes the target point and the two are connected by a dotted line
indicating the current leg. This does not occur for a single point Goto.
Any previous route leg is removed from the screen, but waypoints
remain.
Note: When following a route using a SeaTalk autopilot, the autopilot
will not turn to the new waypoint until it is accepted at the autopilot con-
trol unit.
3.6 Transferring Waypoints and Routes
Displayed SeaTalk Waypoints
In an integrated system, when a route is made current on any SeaTalk
equipment it is sent to all other SeaTalk equipment. This route will
override any other current route. When
GOTO waypoint or GOTO cursor is
in operation it is considered a route.
The current route can be edited on any equipment with route edit
capability.
Note: Waypoints transferred as part of a route are not automatically
saved by the unit; however you can save the route locally, thus adding the
waypoints to the local Waypoint List.
Transferring Database Lists
Database lists can be transferred between units by various means. The
method you choose will depend on the links available (SeaTalk or
NMEA) and whether you want to transfer individual waypoints or the
complete Waypoint and Route List:
• You can receive waypoints that are transmitted by other equipment on
SeaTalk or NMEA.
