The GOTO points is automatically assigned the name “QP<001”. The

GOTO point also appears in the [WAYPOINTS LIST].

Creating a quick route

Note: The following procedure requires [ROUTE DATA SOURCE] in the

[ROUTE•WAYPOINTS] menu to be set to [INTERNAL].

1. Set the GOTO method as 1POINT, referring to "Setting the GOTO

method" on page 6-58.

2. Right-click within the radar effective radius to show the [CURSOR] menu.

3. Select [GOTO]. The [CREATE QUICK ROUTE] window appears.

Note: For RCU-031 users, you can also press GOTO to open the [CREATE

QUICK ROUTE] window.

4. Click an existing waypoint, or new location on the screen, to set the quick route’s

starting point. If you selected an existing waypoint, the waypoint’s name and icon

change to yellow color. If you selected a new location, the GOTO point “QP<001”

appears.

5. Repeat step 4 as required, leaving the final point unselected.

A route line with arrows indicating the direction of travel appears between each

waypoint. You can delete a waypoint immediately after entering it by pressing the

F3 key.

6. At the final waypoint (destination), press the left button twice in quick succession

(double-click). The quick route is now complete.

A line indicating the shortest route to the first waypoint appears between your ves-

sel and the first waypoint. The remainder of the quick route is indicated with a

green dashed line and arrows showing the direction of travel. The quick route also

appears in the ROUTES LIST with the name “Q<RTE”.

Note: If a new single quick route is entered, the old one is deleted. Futher, if a new

GOTO point is entered, the first point of the quick route, “QP<001” is removed from

the quick route.

Note 1: If a new single GOTO destination is entered, the old one is deleted.

Note 2: Waypoint data received from a connected navigator is given priority. If a

GOTO destination is entered at the navigator, the GOTO point set in the previous

procedure is overwritten.

6. PLOTTER OPERATION (C-TYPES) The GOTO points is automatically assigned the name “QP<001”. The GOTO point also appears in the [WAYPOINTS LIST]. Note 1: If a new single GOTO destination is entered, the old one is deleted. Note 2: Waypoint data received from a connected navigator is given priority. If a GOTO destination is entered at the navigator, the GOTO point set in the previous procedure is overwritten.

6. PLOTTER OPERATION (C-TYPES) 6.6.2 How to set a waypoint as a destination You can set a waypoint as a destination with one of the following methods: • Select the waypoint on the screen. • Select the waypoint from the WAYPOINTS LIST. • Enter the waypoint number (for waypoints with numeric names only) • Select the waypoint from the waypoint log. Note: The above methods require [ROUTE DATA SOURCE] in the [ROUTE•WAYPOINTS] menu to be set to [INTERNAL]. Selecting an on-screen waypoint as the destination 1.

6. PLOTTER OPERATION (C-TYPES) 5. Press and hold F2 to register the navigational direction to the route. The ROUTES LIST shows the navigational direction in the upper section once registered. Navigational direction set to [FWD] Navigational direction set to [REV] 6. Close the window. Skipping waypoints There are occasions, such as the example shown below, where you may want to skip a waypoint without having to stop and restart navigation. You can skip waypoints with the following procedure.
PAGE 5
6. PLOTTER OPERATION (C-TYPES) You can reactivate the waypoint in the same manner. Select the skipped waypoint, then press and hold F2. 7. Close the window. Selecting when to switch waypoints When navigating a route, you change waypoints each time you arrive at a waypoint. The system has two methods of changing the waypoints: • [WPT ON VERTICAL LINE]: Waypoints change over as you pass the waypoint, or when the arrival alert is triggered, whichever of the two is earlier.
