The system uses ship position, speed, angle of approach to create an instant track
route. The track is also checked for hazardous objects and the like against the chart
alerts.
During the calculation, the [Instant Track] dialog box window shows "Checking" in the
[Status] field. If, after completion of the calculation, the track is suitable, the message
"OK" replaces "Checking". The track and its waypoints, labeled [T1] - [T4], are colored
orange. The track is saved to the database as "Instant Track_XXX" (XXX=001 - 400).

from the screen. See section 11.8.3 for all the instant track messages and their mean-
