Route
There are two RTE screens. The NAV functions are highly interactive with the RTE1
screen. The RTE2 screen allows you to create a pool of predetermined routes that you
might use often, so you need only create the route one time. Routes are created from
waypoints. All waypoints are stored in the Waypoint Bank, regardless of which function
is used to create them. Waypoints are either created in the Waypoint Bank (WPT1),
created by the GOTO function, selected from the PLOT screens in conjunction with the
GOTO function, or from New Waypoints that can be defined in the Route Insert menu
(and simultaneously stored in the route and the Waypoint Bank).
We recognize the diverse needs of professional users. We have designed the route
features to be very flexible to meet a wide range of users’ requirements by allowing
up to 2000 waypoints to be stored between all of the routes. You can create up to
99 routes, with any number of waypoints, providing the maximum number of 2000
waypoints between all routes is not exceeded.
The Route (RTE) function serves two purposes:
1 The RTE1 screen provides all of the current, or active waypoint navigation data to
the Navigate and Plot screens and is referred to as the Active Route. Therefore,
whenever you begin a new trip or voyage, you should erase the previous voyage’s
waypoints in this screen, then insert the new waypoints or routes (from RTE2)
for the new voyage. If you want to store the waypoints from the previous active
route for future use, you can copy these waypoints in the order in which they were
entered to the Route Bank in the RTE2 screen. This is described in the RTE2 - The
Route Bank section of this manual. If you do not clear the RTE1 screen (refer to
Erasing an Existing Route section of this manual), the RTE1 screen will grow each
time you add new waypoints to the route. The route function can hold a maximum
of 2,000 waypoints between the routes stored in RTE1 and RTE2.
