14. HOW TO MONITOR ROUTES
14-7
14.7 How to Change Monitored Route to Planned
Route
The monitored route can be transferred to the Voyage planning mode. This is useful
when you don't need the route for monitoring but want to edit it. To transfer the moni-
tored route, click the [Voyage], [Route] and [Move to Plan] buttons on the InstantAc-
cess bar™.
Up to five planned routes can be shown on the display. If you try to display another
route, the route list appears. Deselect a route in order to transfer the monitored route
to the Voyage planning mode.
Note: When the monitored route is changed to a planned route, using the [Move to
Plan] function, the operating mode changes from the Navigation voyage mode to the
Voyage planning mode.
14.8 How to Use Instant Track to Return to or Deviate
from Monitored Route
The instant track feature provides a temporary track, consisting of four waypoints, to
return to or deviate from the monitored route. Correct data from navigation sensors is
essential to this function.
There are two instant track modes: [Safe Off Track] and [Back to Track].
[Safe Off Track] : This mode provides a track from the monitored route to a safe loca-
tion to avoid collision or the like.
[Back to Track] : This mode creates a track to follow to return to the monitored route
when the vessel goes outside the channel limits.
The mode is automatically selected according to whether a monitored route is active
or not and the amount of off course. Further, if a monitored route is active while follow-
ing the instant track route, the instant track mode can be changed manually.
* An additional instant track route can continuously be created and monitored while
monitoring the instant track route.
The parameters for the track (channel limit, turn radius, etc.) can be set on the [Instant
Track] page. See section 21.4.
