8.2.12 Route Monitoring
Route Monitoring can be activated if you want to follow a route in manual or
leading control, but also want to have the information provided in track control
mode, i.e. exceeding cross track limits, approaching a waypoint.
The ”Route Monitoring” function is used for a loaded route.
Any waypoint of the route can be selected by using the arrow buttons to switch
between waypoints or directly by clicking a waypoint by cursor.
Window “Select Active Waypoint” displays position coordinates of the selected
waypoint.
If you want to approach the first waypoint of a route a thin dashed line is drawn
from ship‘s symbol to the waypoint, provided with information for planned speed
and course to that waypoint (see Figure: 1
− 28).
If the ship is on the track, the thin line is drawn from the current position of the
ship to the approached waypoint on the track.
The current track leg is also provided with information for planned speed and
course.
