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 from 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.
