Switching waypoints
When you arrive to a waypoint on a route, you can switch to the next waypoint

passes an imaginary perpendicular line passing through the center of the
destination waypoint.
ARRVL ALM CRCL:
Automatically switches the TO waypoint when the boat
comes within the arrival alarm range. For how to set the arrival alarm, see the
paragraph “2.11.2 Arrival alarm.”
MANUAL:
The destination waypoint may be manually switched by using the
RESTART soft key (see page 2-50). This function is operative when “1 POINT” is
selected as the GOTO method (see page 2-45).
