How to Use Easy Routing
The Easy Routing feature automatically constructs a route between two points, taking
into consideration the preset values for safe depths, safe heights and boat’s width, to
provide you with an estimate of a safe route to your destination. Easy Routing can be
initiated on points, on route legs (inactive routes only), on a cartographic object and
on the chart.
You simply set a destination. This can be newly entered points or any of the points
mentioned above that are currently on the screen. (The total distance can not be lon-
ger than 100 NM.) Easy Routing then analyzes the path between your current position
and the selected point and creates a route, inserting legs in the route when necessary
to get you away from areas which exceed the safety values set on the menu. Easy
Routing analyzes each leg for safety in three levels: safe leg, potentially dangerous
leg, and unsafe leg, and color codes them accordingly, green for safe, yellow for po-
tentially dangerous and red for unsafe.
Note:
A chart card must be inserted to use Easy Routing. Not all chart cards carry
Easy Routing. The message "No charts with Easy Routing data found." appears if a
chart card does not have Easy Routing.
EASY ROUTING DISCLAIMER:
The accuracy of Easy Routing is limited by the avail-
ability of electronic charts loaded on your navigation system and the accuracy of orig-
Route details (total distance, total time, estimated
arrival time, route planning speed)
