Switching waypoints

When you arrive to a waypoint on a route, you can switch to the next waypoint three ways: perpendicular to waypoint, arrival alarm circle and manual.

PERPENDICULAR: Automatically switches the TO waypoint when the boat enters the arrival alarm range or the boat passes an imaginary perpendicular line passing through the center of the destination waypoint.

ARRVL ALM CRCL: Automatically switches the TO waypoint when the boat enters the arrival alarm range. For how to set the arrival alarm, see paragraph 3.11.2 Arrival alarm.

MANUAL: When the boat nears a destination waypoint, the destination waypoint may be manually switched by using the RESTART soft key. This function is operative when “1 POINT” is selected as the GOTO method (see page 3-45).
