Creating a Route
To create waypoints, you must first select Edit
Route , either by clicking on the Routes button on
the upper toolbar (before a route is loaded this
button will display the message
No Route
Loaded ), or by selecting the Routes menu.
When Edit Route is selected waypoints can be
created anywhere within the chart display (routes
are not limited to the True Motion
limits).
Adding a Waypoint
There are two screen options initially available when adding waypoints:

Add Waypoint; or

Add Waypoint to Beginning.
If the waypoint to be added is the first in the route then either waypoint
option can be selected.
You can select to annotate routes on screen (with waypoint and
wheelover numbers, planned leg speed and leg bearing data) by
selecting the display options from Route Display Settings.
To add a waypoint do the following:
1. With Edit Route displayed right click in
the chart display at the point where the
waypoint is to be placed. A semi
transparent window appears at the point
where the selection was made.
2. Click on either the Add Waypoint or Add
Waypoint to Beginning field from the
window.
