Route waypoint spacing

When creating routes the waypoints must be spaced far enough apart to ensure the route can be navigated successfully by your vessel. Vessel speed, turning characteristics and waypoint arrival radius will all impact how effectively a route can be navigated.

If waypoints are placed closer together than the Waypoint arrival alarm radius then waypoints in the route may be skipped.

If vessel speed is too high with closely spaced waypoints then you may pass the next waypoint before the vessel can turn.

1. Vessel heading toward waypoint.

2. Vessel skips waypoints that are spaced too close together.
