Routes
A route consists of a series of routepoints entered in the order that you want to navigate
them.
When you select a route on the chart panel it turns green, and the route name is displayed.
The Zeus

Easy Routing. This feature automatically suggest routepoints between the first and last

feature when you create a new route, or you can use it to edit already saved routes.
