Distance to go
The
Distance to go
in the console is measured from the ship to the last waypoint.
ETA
The ETA shown in the console area and in the Route plan dialog box is calculated using
either the current (actual) Ship speed for the remaining distance or the Ship speed for the
current leg and the Planned speed (inserted by the user in the Leg SOG column) for the
remaining legs.
To insert the planned speed for each remaining leg, left click on the relevant Leg SOG cell
and set the SOG value.
When the
Ship speed
is toggled on in the Route plan dialog box, the ETA calculation is
made using the ship speed to the final waypoint.
When the button is toggled to
Planned speed
, the ETA calculation is made using the ship
speed for the current leg and the planned speed value for each remaining legs.
