4.Select the route that you want to follow, then select OK.

5.The 8000i displays the selected route on all the Chart screens and makes it the active route. For more information, (See Page 82)

11.13Follow a route

The active route shows the destination waypoint in gold, with a broken line extending from it to your vessel, on all the Chart screens. You can navigate along an active route yourself or by autopilot.

The 8000i automatically selects the first waypoint as the destination waypoint.

When your vessel arrives at the specified distance from the waypoint (see "Set the waypoint arrival distance" page 91) the 8000i automatically sets the next waypoint as the new destination waypoint and shows the completed leg as a grey line.

When your vessel arrives at the last waypoint in the route, the 8000i either stops navigating or keeps navigating, depending on your choice (see "Select whether to continue navigating at the route end" page 92)

If you want to return to the previous waypoint or go to the next waypoint, (See Page 82)

If you want to go to a different waypoint, or join a route at a specific waypoint, just select that waypoint then select Follow Route From Here. The 8000i

creates a temporary waypoint at your current position and draws a broken line between this and the destination waypoint.

The broken line shows the course you must take.

11.14Navigate to the previous or next waypoint

To navigate to the previous or next waypoint:

1.Display the Chart screen and the control panel. If you can't see the GoTo button, select Return.

2.Select GoTo.

3.If there's an active route or waypoint already on the Chart screen, select

Previous Waypoint or Next Waypoint. (Previous Waypoint won't work if you're at the first waypoint in the route, and Next Waypoint won't work if you're at the last waypoint in a route.)

4.The 8000i creates a temporary waypoint at your vessel's current position, then draws a line between the temporary waypoint and the destination waypoint.

5.The line between the two waypoints becomes the active route. If you want more information about following an active route, (See Page 82)

11.15Stop following a route

This works only when an active route is displayed on the Chart screen.
