4.5.2 Creating Routes

To create a route, decide the route number and select the waypoints to be used as way points in
order.

The same waypoint cannot be selected in a continuous manner.

Up to 20 routes can be created.

Up to 50 waypoints can be set on each route.
In addition to waypoints, the following items can be set for each route.
(1) RADIUS:
The arrival circle radius can be set.
(2) WIDTH: The port and starboard route widths can be set.
(3) PLAN SPEED: The planned speed can be set.
(4) GC/RL: The distance calculation method can be set.
GC: Distance is calculated using the great circle method.
RL: Distance is calculated using the rhumb line method.
(5) STATUS: You can set whether the waypoint will be use or not.
USE: The waypoint is used.
SKIP: The waypoint remains on the route, but is skipped.

Great-Circle Sailing (GC): The shortest distance from the current position to the waypoint
can be used, but the bearing will be different from that determined on nautical chart, and will
change during movement.

Rhumb line Sailing (RL): Sailing can be performed directly from the current position to the
waypoint, without changing bearing.
The ship bearing will match that obtained by drawing a straight line on a nautical chart
between the current position and the waypoint.

Great-circle sailing is generally used for long distance sailing, and Rhumb line sailing is used
for relatively short distance sailing.
