9.1.7 Navigation Calculator
The ECDIS Navigation Calculator utility provides you with a quick way to
calculate two different scenarios:
S The arrival time, at a waypoint, if you proceed at a given speed.
S The speed necessary to arrive at a waypoint at a specific time.
You may make all calculations using a specific leg of the route. By setting the
active leg, the Navigation Calculator will ignore current speed and/or ETA
settings for the active waypoint.
NOTE
To obtain the most accurate leg distance, the Navigation Calculator
calculates the leg distance considering the predicted turning arc.
