Following a Route (manual steering)

Once a route is created or imported it can be navigated by performing a Follow route. When performing a Follow route active navigation will commence which guides you through each route leg to the route’s final waypoint.

Important

It is the captain’s responsibility to ensure a route is safe to navigate before commencing the follow.

Follow the steps below to perform a Follow route using manual steering:

  1. RouteFollowSelect and hold on any route leg (the line drawn between the each of the route’s waypoints).
  2. Select Follow Route from the context menu.

    You can also select one of the route waypoints and select more options and then Follow route.

    Note

    If you select the first waypoint in a route then the next step is skipped and active navigation commences immediately.

  3. Select the desired follow option from the Follow route notification:
    • Select From Start to commence active navigation from the first waypoint in the route.

    • Select From next waypoint to commence active navigation from the next waypoint after the selected route leg.

    • Select From this waypoint to commence active navigation from the selected waypoint.

    Note
    • The Reverse route direction option allows you to permanently reverse the route (i.e.: switch the start and end waypoint) so that the route can be followed in the opposite direction. To reverse the route select the check box and then choose either the desired options to commence active navigation.

    • If the selected waypoint is part of more than 1 route then the Route list will be displayed so that you can choose which route you want to follow.

  4. Manually navigate the route leg to the indicated waypoint.
  5. The waypoint arrival alarm will trigger when your vessel reaches the waypoint arrival radius.

    The Waypoint arrival radius can be set from the Alarms manager: Homescreen > Alarms > Settings > Arrival radius.
