Reference section 4 — Navigating to Waypoints
The course predictor line
Reference Manual Revision B
Steering on the chart
You can also steer by watching your
progress directly on the chart screen,
rather than using the steer screens
described above. Several aids in the 972
help you do this:
•
dotted green line
on the chart shows
the original track line from your
initial
vessel position to the waypoint
•
dotted red line
on the chart shows the
direct line from your
current
vessel
position to the waypoint
•
a pair of blue dotted lines
surrounding
the original track line to the waypoint
show the width of the allowable cross
track error. These lines will be present
only if the Cross Track alarm is turned
on)
Note that the blue circle surrounding each
waypoint represents the allowable cross
track error,
not
the arrival radius.
The course predictor line
The course predictor line (see
Using the
course predictor line,
on page 38) provides
another effective way to navigate a course
line or even to navigate directly to a point
on the chart. On the chart or radar screen,
just keep the end of the predictor line near
the intended course line, and your vessel
will steer towards and gently merge with
the line.
The predictor line is also shown on the 3D
steer screen where it may appear curved to
represent the actual track on the 3D grid.
