Up to 20 routes can be saved in the route database. You can then select a route
from the database list as the current route.
The current route can be edited by adding and moving waypoints. The current
route is always placed in the database list as route number 0, so you can edit the
current route without affecting the original route in the database. Once a route
has been saved, options are also provided to name a route, erase a route and to
display route details.
You can use the route information to review your passage plan by adjusting the
planned Speed Over Ground (SOG).
Note: The route database is stored locally, in the display unit on which it was
created. Although the current route is automatically transferred, you need to
use the
WAYPOINT TRANSFER
function, described in Section 7.6, to transfer the
complete route database to a repeater display connected via hsb
2
.
Also, it is possible for the current route to be overwritten by a route from an-
other unit on an integrated system, so it is advisable to save all routes.
This section explains how to perform the following tasks:
• Creating a new route.
• Saving the current route in the database list.
• Clearing the current route.
• Retrieving a route from the database list as the current route.
• Displaying route information, including the route leg data and waypoint
details. Use the waypoint details to review your passage plans for different
speeds.
• Using the database list to erase and name existing routes.
• Editing a route by adding, removing and moving waypoints.
