Choose a route using the
button and push Enter to make it your active
route. The name of the first destination waypoint in the route is displayed
at the bottom of the screen.
When activating a route, your FX324 MAP assumes that your current
position is at or near the position of the first waypoint in the route (i.e. your
vessel is at the beginning of the route). Consequently the first destination
waypoint is not the first waypoint in the route but the second one. If your
current position at the moment you activate the route is different from the
position of the first waypoint and you want to make it mandatory in your
journey, you must first do a GoTo Waypoint to the first waypoint in the
route and then activate the route once you have reached it.
In the following example, your route is made of three waypoints: A, B and C.
Point X is the current position of your vessel. When activating the
route, the destination waypoint is waypoint B and A is considered
as your starting point The dotted line XB is the mobile to
waypoint line, AB is the direct line and XZ is your cross track
error.
If you want to go through waypoint A, you must do a GoTo
waypoint A and then activate the route once you have reached
waypoint A.
Note:
In Route mode, the device automatically advances to the next
waypoint when the distance to the current destination waypoint
becomes less than the distance programmed for the arrival alarm,
or when the vessel has passed the line that commands this
advance. See Navigation Menu to configure the waypoint arrival
alarm and Moving to the Next Waypoint in a Route.
