Temporary Routes
A temporary route (temp route) can be created
and displayed on screen, either independently or
in addition to a currently displayed planned route.
The temp route is edited and validated
independently of a planned route via the Temp
Route tab folder.
The Temp Route tab folder displays cross track
distance (XTD) limits for Port and Starboard,
speed, turn statistics and waypoint DTG default
values. The speed value is taken from own ships
current SOG and the turn radius is a system
configurable default value.
A temp route originates from own ship's CCRP. A
temp route can also transition to a previously
planned route.
Creating and Editing a Temporary Route
To create and edit a temp route do the
following:
1. Select Temp Route from the Route menu and click on the
Create/Edit button. A short straight segment starting at the bow of
the ship and in the direction of the ship’s COG is drawn. The
segment is displayed as a orange dotted line, underneath the COG
dashed line. The length of the line segment represents the value
shown in the Waypoint DTG field (default value 2000 metres). A
waypoint circle is drawn at the end of the line segment and is
labelled as
T0 (if Show waypoint labels is ticked in the Route
Display Settings).
2. To add waypoints to the temp route move the cursor into the chart
window, in Temp Route mode the letters TMP WYPT are shown
just beneath the cross hair.
3. Left click at the required position to create the next waypoint. A
waypoint circle is drawn at the selected point and is labelled T1 . A
turn radius representing the value in the Turn Radius field is drawn
between the waypoints. Further waypoints can be created in the
same way.
