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 (your desti-
nation) is shown at the top of the screen. A
red 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 Navlog 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 972. To permanently change a
route, you must use the edit-route function.
(For details, see ”Editing a route” starting on
page 76.)
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 972’s GO TO function, the unit
automatically enters and organizes the
waypoints in the navlog.
Reversing your trip
You can reverse your trip at any time.
Pressing the
Reverse
menu key on the
Navlog
screen lets you travel the trip in the
opposite direction.
Stopping and restarting navigation
Stopping navigation
Whenever you press the navlog’s
Stop
menu key, the 972 stops navigating, and
won’t display distance and bearing to
waypoints or ETA or ETE.
Restarting navigation
You can restart navigation along any leg or
to any waypoint of the trip. On the
Navlog
screen, move the cursor arrow to highlight
the waypoint or leg. When you select a
waypoint, a triangle points to the waypoint.
When you select a leg, an arrow points
from the first waypoint to the second. Press
the
Restart
menu key.
