shown are estimates based on your current speed. For
waypoints you’ve
already passed, actual times of arrival are
shown . The 958 updates this information as you travel.
NOTE:
Estimated times are just estimates, which may be inaccurate if your SOG
changes, either intentionally or by passing through varying currents.
Your ETA at the last waypoint is shown at the top of the
screen. A darkened arrow connecting the right ends of two
waypoint boxes indicates you’ve completed that leg of the trip.
Changing your trip
Adding waypoints
to your trip
You can add waypoints to your trip at any time:
1. On the
NAV LOG
screen, press the
APPEND WAYPT
menu key to display a chart view of the trip waypoints on
the
APPEND WAYPT
screen.
2. Press the
CURSOR PAD
to select the desired waypoint.
3. Press the
SELECT WAYPT
menu key, then press the
ENTER
key to add the waypoint to the nav log. Note: Any
waypoints added in this manner aren’t permanently
added to the original route stored in the 958. To perma-
nently change a route, you must use the 958’s edit-route
function. (For details, see ”Editing a route” starting on
page 100.)
4. Repeat these steps for any more waypoints you want to
add.
NOTE:
If you go to a waypoint or along a route by using the 958’s GO TO func-
tion, the 958 automatically enters and organizes the waypoints in the nav
log.
Reversing your trip
You can reverse your trip at any time. Pressing the
REVERSE
menu key on the
NAV LOG
screen lets you travel the trip in
the opposite direction.
