3. PLOTTER OPERATION

Navigating to multiple quick points

1.Select “35 POINTS” following the procedure in “Selecting quick point entry method” on the previous page.

2.Press the GOTO soft key.

3.Place the cursor on an existing waypoint (SELECT WPT soft key appears) or a new location (ADD QP soft key appears).

4.Depending on the action taken at step 3 press the SELECT WPT or ADD QP soft key. “QP<01>” appears at the cursor location if a quick point is selected.

5.Repeat steps 3 and 4 to complete the route.

To erase last-entered quick point (waypoint), press the ERASE LST QP (ERASE LST WP) soft key.

6.Push the [ENTER] knob to finish.

A solid line runs between own ship and first waypoint and a dashed line between other waypoints. (For the MODEL1722C/1723C series, those lines are colored light-blue and green, respectively.) Quick points are numbered in sequential order from QP<01> and are saved to the waypoint list. Range and bearing from own ship to the first destination appear at the top of screen. The quick points are saved as a route, under the name “Q>RTE” (Quick Route).
