When creating a survey route, it is easiest to first insert a master line in the
Navigation window and then generate parallel lines using the
Offset Line
function.
For example, if you were surveying a river, insert the first line, the master line,
down the middle of the river, and then insert the required number of offset lines on
the port and starboard sides of the master line. If working along the coast, place the
master line along the coast and then generate the required number of lines on the
seaward side of the master line.
