4.6 Navigating to a Specific Point
You can use your Chartplotter to navigate to a specific point marked by the cursor
or to a waypoint. When you are steering manually, you can also use the
chartplotter to determine the bearing or direction to steer.
Go to the cursor position
A
Navigating using the cursor is a quick and simple technique that involves
travelling directly to a point selected by the cursor position:
1. Position the cursor at the desired destination.
2. Press GOTO. If you are currently navigating to a waypoint, following a route or
already navigating to the cursor, you will need to press STOP GOTO
,
before
the system will allow you to go to the position currently marked by the cursor.
3. Press GOTO CURSOR.
• A temporary waypoint entitled GOTO CURSOR is placed at the cursor
position.
• A dashed Bearing from Origin to Destination (BOD) line is drawn between
the vessel’s original position and the temporary waypoint. This line
remains unchanged as the boat moves.
• As the boat’s actual course varies from the original, a blue Bearing from
Vessel to Destination (BVD) line is drawn between your current position
and the waypoint. This line is redrawn as the boat approaches the way-
point.
