Chapter 5: Operation
71
A temporary waypoint is placed at the cursor position and navigation
proceeds towards it. The temporary waypoint is shown as a square with a
dot in the center and is connected to the vessel’s starting position by a
dotted line.
On arrival, the arrival alarm is sounded and the arrival pop-up box is
displayed. The dotted line is removed but the temporary waypoint
remains on screen until another
GOTO
or
FOLLOW
operation is started, or
the waypoint is removed.
Note:
The temporary waypoint is not added to the waypoint list. If the
GoTo is stopped prior to completion or the temporary waypoint is
erased.
