Activating route
If you have planned a route using the Navigation tool
, which is displayed on the chart, and you wish to follow this route, you can
transform this route plan into the active course. To do this, simply select Activate Route from the Navigation menu.
Note: if a course is already active, this function is not available and you must
close the former (refer to above paragraph).
The route plan is immediately transformed into the active course and you can
plot a new route plan using the Navigation tool
.
Note: when the route plan is activated, a Waypoint 0 is plotted for the present position of the ship, which defines the initial
heading for the first part of the course.
