Weather Routing<br />

The routing is calculated by the program using a set of powerful and sophisticated algorithms. It also takes into account<br />

any open tide or ocean current files.<br />

The form of the isochron displayed is particularly important for an overall evaluation of both options and risk. For<br />

example, an isochron which is swollen in the north and fleeing in the south means that options in the north are generally<br />

favorable; an isochron with a pronounced tip indicates a very favorable route plan, but one which must be followed strictly<br />

(thus having a high risk factor); a flat form on the other hand indicates that the chosen route is not particularly favorable.<br />

Note: to calculate the routing, the program uses the active polar. You can choose to use another polar file and<br />

recalculate the routing.<br />

From several Waypoints<br />

If you have plotted several waypoints and have launched the Routing module:<br />

<strong>MaxSea</strong>'s multi-waypoint routing allows you to define an optimal route plan from the boat position to the active waypoint<br />

then from this waypoint to each subsequent waypoint to the end of the course.<br />
