Target Point Arrival

The arrival alarm is used to alert you when the vessel is approaching the target point. The arrival alarm is defined as a circle (not visible on the screen) around the target. You can specify radius of the arrival alarm (see Section 6.3).

The alarm is triggered when either of the following conditions is met:

•The distance to the target point is less than that specified for the arrival alarm.

•Your vessel reaches the closest point of approach to the target (defined by a line passing through the waypoint and perpendicular to the route leg).

➤To cancel the arrival alarm and go towards the next waypoint in the route,

either	press any key
or	wait for 10 seconds.

The target becomes the origin, the next waypoint becomes the target point, and the two are connected by a dotted line indicating the current leg. Any previous route leg is removed from the screen, but waypoints remain.

Note: When following a route using a SeaTalk autopilot, the autopilot will not turn to the new waypoint until it is accepted at the autopilot control unit.

Other Follow Route Options

You can use the soft keys to follow a route from a selected waypoint (join a route), or if already following, you can advance to the next waypoint. You can also restart the cross track error, setting the current vessel position as the new origin.

In addition, you can move a selected waypoint as described in Section 5.3, or remove a waypoint from the route as described in Section 5.4.
