Going to a Destination (con’t.)
Now that we’ve zoomed in a little closer to our route, we can pan ahead of our
vessel with the cursor to review and create on-screen waypoints and navaids. Try
moving the cursor to select the ‘TOUR3’ waypoint— just use the
R
keypad to
move the cursor as close as possible to the waypoint. (To move the cursor in small
increments, try a series of short key presses.)
Once the cursor is over the TOUR3 waypoint, you’ll notice that the waypoint
symbol and name will become highlighted. The data field at the top of the page
will display the waypoint name, the range and bearing from your present position,
and the coordinates for the waypoint.
To review the waypoint page for a selected waypoint:
1. Press the
T
key.
2. To return to the Map Page, press
T
again.
The cursor can also be used to create new waypoints right from the map
display.
To create a new waypoint using the cursor:
1. Use the
R
keypad to move the cursor as close as possible to the following position:
N 35º 02.129’; W 076º 26.106’ (Use the data window to verify the cursor position.)
2. Press the
T
key to capture the cursor position.
3. Use the
R
key to highlight the waypoint symbol field.
4. Press
T
to access the symbol page.
5. Press the DOWN arrow of the
R
keypad twice to select the wreck symbol.
6. Press
T
to confirm, and
T
again to finish.
Now that we’re navigating to an actual destination, let’s move on to the next
page of the sounder, the
Navigation Page
:
1. Press the
J
key.
