4.5 Following a route
You select a route to follow either by either:
• Selecting the Quick Route option at the time you build the route.
See Building a route on page 43
• Highlighting it with the cursor
• Selecting it within the routes list.
When you begin to follow a route it becomes Active.

Reverse order
This option reverses the waypoints in a route, i.e the last waypoint
of the original route becomes the first, and re-orders the waypoint
accordingly. The route name moves to what is now the first waypoint
and the system automatically activates the reverse follow route
function.
To follow a route in reverse order:
1. Press either the GOTO or ROUTES softkey.
2. Press the FOLLOW ROUTE OPTIONS softkey. The route list
appears.
3. Use the trackpad to highlight and select the route you want to
follow.
4. Press the REVERSE AND FOLLOW softkey.
Arriving at a waypoint
As your boat approaches a waypoint arrival alarm provides a warn-
ing dialog and an alarm sound.
To acknowledge and proceed to the next waypoint:
1. Press the ACKNOWLEDGE softkey.
See also:
You can set the approach distance (radius) at which the waypoint
arrival alarm will sound. Refer to Alarm Setup Menu on page 132.
Advancing to the next waypoint
You can tell the system to ignore the next waypoint in your route,
and advance directly to the waypoint after it.
To advance to the next waypoint in a route:
1. Either, use the trackpad to move the cursor over the route, or
press the GOTO softkey.
2. Press the ADVANCE WAYPOINT softkey.
Note: If the next waypoint is also the last in the route, pressing
ADVANCE WAYPOINT takes you to the first waypoint in the
route.
