5.5 Following Routes and Going to Points

The default soft key GOTO accesses the functions to FOLLOW a route and GOTO a waypoint or cursor. When you select the target destination, the chartplotter calculates bearing, distance and cross track error; this information is passed to a helmsman or autopilot. You can also restart the cross track error (XTE) from the actual vessel position to set XTE to zero at that point.

When the chartplotter is following a route, the target destination is indicated by a square around the waypoint (or cursor marker) and a dotted line shows the intended track, from your start point or previous waypoint, to the target waypoint.

This section describes the following:

•Follow a route either forwards, or in reverse order.

•Target Point Arrival

•Other follow route options, including joining at a selected waypoint, advancing waypoints, and restarting XTE.

•Go to an individual point, either an existing waypoint or the cursor.

•Stop and Restart Follow/Goto.

An alarm is triggered when you approach a waypoint, this section describes what happens when you arrive at waypoints. Chapter 6 describes how to set the alarm.

The chartplotter can also display the vessel’s actual track and the track can be recorded for later display. The Track function is described in the Section 5.7.

➤To access the Goto/Follow soft keys, press the default soft key GOTO (the soft

	keys differ if a follow or goto is already in progress):

Follow a Route

Note: The current route may have been created on this display, or created on another unit and received on this display via SeaTalk.

If a route has been reversed or if a route on screen was being followed but stopped before completion, the target waypoint – outlined by a square box – may be different to when the route was created.
