Chapter 3-16 GN33 Chart menu and INFO windows
3 From active chart display with cursor on: Plot and save cursor’s
position as a waypoint; insert a location name (cf.section 2.6), adjust
the position by keying in new figures, change the symbol (cf.section
2.5).
4 From active chart display with cursor on: You can quickly make a
route by means of the cursor and the [PLOT] key. The present cursor
position will be the first position of the route you are about to make.
Move cursor to next position, and press [PLOT]. Continue in this
manner until the route is completed.
Existing waypoints can be used for making the route, simply by
placing the cursor on the waypoints and plot the positions. In case
you make a wrong plot, press [CLR] to erase the last plotted posi-
tion. Save the route with [ENT] or exit the function with [MENU] to
abandon the route.
Do not use the exact position of buoys, markers etc. as waypoints
and routepoints. The high accuracy of the system may result in a col-
lision when sailing in the dark or navigating with an autopilot.
5 From active chart display with cursor on: To draw lines or to make a
route is the same procedure, please refer to point 5.
6 From active chart display with cursor on: Plot target at cursor posi-
tion with preset target name etc., or...
from active chart display with cursor off: Plot target at ship’s posi-
tion with preset target name etc.
After plotting the target it will be saved in the memory, and you can
edit the target later on, either via the menu (cf.section 5.7) or directly
from the chart (cf.section 3.3.7).
