Modifying the course
The course that you have plotted can be modified at any moment using the
modification tools.
Choosing another target Waypoint
As an example, let us say you are in route to Waypoint 1 and you wish to head
directly for Waypoint 3.
Select the Finger tool
from the Tools palette, then click the Waypoint 3 icon to select it
(it will become highlighted).
Select Next waypoint from the Navigation menu. Waypoint 3 becomes the new Waypoint to be reached and the Waypoint data
window is immediately updated.
Extending the course
Select the Waypoint tool
from the Tools palette, then click on the position of the Waypoint you want
to add to the course. You can move the chart if needed. You may repeat the
operation to add additional Waypoints.
Erasing a Waypoint
Select the Eraser tool
from the Tools palette, then click the icon of the Waypoint that you want to
delete. Repeat this operation to erase other Waypoints if necessary.
Modifying a Waypoint position
Select the Position modification tool
from the Tools palette, then click the icon of the Waypoint whose position you
wish to modify, hold the mouse button down, then drag to the desired position
for this Waypoint (using information from the Cursor display if necessary). Release the mouse button.
Inserting a Waypoint into the course
Select the Insert tool
from the Tools palette (note that the cursor is now like this
), click the Waypoint (which is then selected and is highlighted) after which
you wish to insert a new Waypoint.
When the cursor has resumed its usual Plotting form
, click (or drag to) the new Waypoint position. This Waypoint is then inserted
in the course.
Reversing the course
Select Reverse Course from the Navigation menu to reverse the direction of the active course (return course).
