5. NAVIGATION
5-3
After you select a route the following occurs:
• The color of the route legs other than the first one change from blue to red. A blue
line w/arrows runs between the current position and the first route point. The line is
the course to the route point and the arrows indicate the direction in which to follow.
Note: If the route was created directly on the screen, the route points are marked
as “QPxxxxx”.
• The arrival area, the radius of which is set with the arrival alarm, is shown with a red
dashed circle. When the vessel comes within the circle or the vessel moves through
an imaginary perpendicular line that crosses through the center of the destination
point, the audio alarm sounds and the arrival alarm icon appears at the top of the
screen to alert you. See the description on page 5-1.
• After you arrive to a point, the arrival area marker and the dashed line are switched
to the next waypoint.
