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).
