Professional Weather Routing
If a routing has been plotted and you then decide to launch a second routing (once you have changed the weather file or
opened a different polar, etc.), the program will use the current parameters to calculate the optimum course.
Change color to make difference between Routing Tracks
1. Select a chosen routing track drawn on the chart with the Select Tool
2. When each point along the Weather Routing track appears selected, click on the Plotting Color tool in the
Toolbar.
