6.2 Routes
Routes are used to plan your journey in advance. You can plan your journey directly on your MFD,
or at home using software capable of exporting Waypoints and Routes in standard .gpx format,
such as Raymarine’s Voyage Planner software.
Routes consist of a number of waypoints. Your MFD can store up to 250 Routes, each Route
consisting of up to 500 waypoints. The Route capacity limit is subject to your MFD’s 10,000 Waypoint
limit (for example, your MFD could store 20 Routes each containing 500 waypoints).
