Approaching Leg
The Approaching Leg area enables you to edit the following attributes of
the leg approaching the selected waypoint:

Rhumb Line


Leg Speed - estimate average speed for the route leg (maximum
speed 99 Kn.)

XTD Alarm - the distance in metres that the ship can stray from the
route leg’s track line before an off track error alarm occurs.
Different values may be entered for the left and right side of the
route leg's track line.
The following leg attributes are read-only which automatically change if the
route data is changed:

Leg Distance - the leg distance between each waypoint.


To edit the Approaching Leg data do the following:

the text changes to green (editable). Move the trackball left or right
to change the values.
2. To change the departing or approaching leg from Rhumb Line to
Great Circle click on the drop down arrow to the right of the field
and make the desired selection.
3. To change the XTD alarm limit click in the L or R field, the text
changes to green (editable). Move the trackball left or right to
change the values and left click to accept. The values defined will
only apply to that leg.
