8.2.2 Opening Routes
Select the Open Route (primary or secondary) command when you want to
navigate using a route you’ve already created. When you activate the command,
ECDIS displays the Open Route dialog box, which contains listing of all the
routes you have saved in alphabetical order. Because routes are independent of
plots, you can open any route while any plot is open.
The Open Route dialog box provides two options: you may open and center the
display on the route, or you may just open the route. If the route you want to
open is not located in the area which is currently in view, click on
Open and
Show and ECDIS will center the display on an appropriate chart and the route.
NOTE
When you open a route, ECDIS draws fairlanes and a planned track
(dashed) between the waypoints. Use the Track Control command to
begin navigating to a waypoint (see
Activating Track Control , see
chapter 8.2.13)
Procedure:

routes you’ve saved.
