Chart Plotter - User Manual

The  program  will  find  obstacles  between  two  waypoints  and  re-build  it  so  that  obstacles 

will be avoided. The program's decision about avoiding obstacles on your way is based on 
information about your boat parameters (safe corridor, depth, height, length). 

1.  Place cursor on a route leg (a line, that connects two waypoints).
2.  Press [ENTER]
3.  Select “Easy routing”
4.  Press [ENTER].

NOTE1 

You must have an up-to-date C-Map 4D chart to use this option. This option is not 

supported with MAX charts.

NOTE2 

You must input correct information about your boat parameters in General Settings 

– 

Ship Profile.
