6.The new settings are applied immediately and stay until you change them again.

7.When you are finished, select Return.

11.22Show the route length and estimated travel time

You can select a route and have the 8000i show the length of the route leg between each waypoint, and for each waypoint, the cumulative distance to the route end and the estimated total time that your vessel will need to travel the complete route at a specific speed.

There are two ways to show this information. You can either:

•select the route when it's displayed on your Chart screen, or

•use the Routes Library

To show the route length and estimated travel time from the chart screen:

1.Select the route. The 8000i changes the color of the route and displays a new control panel.

2.Select Route Details, then continue at Step 5.

To show the route length and estimated travel time from the routes library:
