Activating a list of points
This function can be used, for example, to transform an old track into an active course, or constitute a waypoint library that you choose depending on requirements and in the order that you wish.
Select, in the required order, a list of points (personal marks), or select a
complete line or a track for example (see chapter Modifying marks , and the paragraph Selecting objects).
Then select the Waypoint tool
from the Tools palette, and click one of the points of the selection.
The selection is transformed into the active course.
Note: when a course is activated, Waypoint 0 is plotted at the present position of
the ship, which defines the initial heading for the first part of the course.
Note: if a course was already active, this function adds the selected points to the
active course and lengthens it.
