Chapter 4: Using the Chart 4-27

A track starts to be laid from the stern of the boat using the minimum number of track

points necessary. If the maximum number of tracking points is reached, you will be

warned. The track will continue to be recorded with the earlier tracking points being

overwritten.

Note:

If the power fails whilst a track is being recorded or the position fix is lost, a

break will occur in the track. In this case only the last segment can be converted into a

route.

To stop tracking...

To stop laying a track, press STOP TRACK.

You are asked what you want to do with your track:

• To save this track, press SAVE. The Save Track box is displayed to enable you to

change the track’s name or color. See

page 4-34

• To delete this track from the system, press DISCARD TRACK. A warning message is

displayed.

• To resume tracking, press CANCEL STOP COMMAND.

Creating a route from a track

Creating a route from a track enables you to retrace a saved track.

When a track is converted the system creates the closest route through the recorded

track, using the minimum number of waypoints. Each waypoint created will be saved

with the depth and temperature data (if applicable) for that position.

On completion, the maximum deviation of the route from the recorded track is

displayed and the new route is added to the route list. It can now be displayed, edited

and erased etc. in the same way as other routes in the system.

Note:

If a track break occurs, only the last segment is converted to a route.

CAUTION:

Before following the route, ensure that it is safe for navigation, noting that it

may deviate from your actual path travelled.

... from the current track?

You can create a route from the track that you are currently laying. This method will

take a snapshot of the track to date, convert it to a route and then continue laying the

track:
