Route ETA
The Route ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) enables
the following settings to be changed or selected on
a monitored route:

Waypoint selection - click on the WPT drop
down arrow to select a waypoint on the
monitored route. The field to the right gives the
calculated distance (in nautical miles) from
own ship to the select waypoint.

Speed - enables the speed for a route's
present leg (based on the waypoint selection)
and the speed for future legs to be changed,
either from the speed based on own ship's
SOG, or any planned speeds given when the
route was edited, see Edit Route - Waypoints
Tab. The planned speeds show 10.0 kn if no
changes were made to the approaching and
departing legs for each waypoint on the route.
To change Route ETA settings do the following:
1. Manual speed defaults to 0.0 kn. To enter
a speed for the present leg or future legs
select the
Manual radio button and click
in the Manual field, the text changes to
green (editable). Move the trackball right
to increase the value and left click again
to accept the value.
2. To change the speed for the present leg or future legs to the
planned speed entered at the Edit Route menu select the Planned
radio button.
Each leg of a route may have different speed settings selected.
When speed values are entered, or planned speeds selected, the system
then calculates the ETA based on the selected
speed values.
1. To hide the speed options click the Hide
options button. The button changes to
display the speeds for present leg and
future legs.
2. Click the button again to return to the full Route ETA window.
