You can reverse the trip at any time (navigating to route waypoints in
trip
reverse order) by pressing the REVERSE menu key.
Waypoints may be added to the trip by pressing the APPEND WAYPT
menu key. Any waypoints added to the trip in NAV LOG are not perma-
nently appended to the route in the 941X's memory. To make permanent
changes to the route, you must use the EDIT ROUTE functions, as de-
scribed on page 50.
Waypoints are automatically entered and organized in NAV LOG when
you first navigate (GO) to a waypoint or along a route.
Press the NAV LOG key at any time to display the list of waypoints you
are currently navigating along. Use the up and down cursor arrow keys
to scan through the entire list to show any waypoint you wish. The dis-
tance and bearing of each leg is displayed. For each waypoint, you can
display either the waypoint's description, or the time of arrival at the
waypoint. Press the NAME/ETA menu key to select one or the other.
The time of arrival displayed is the Estimated Time of Arrival (based on
your current speed) for waypoints you have not yet passed. Actual Times
of Arrival are shown for waypoints you have passed.
Remember, estimated times are just that—estimates—and may
be inaccurate. This is because your Speed-Over-Ground will be
affected by any changes in direction, even slight changes
brought about as you pass through varying currents.
Press the NAV LOG key, as above, to display the waypoints of your cur-
rent trip. You may modify the remainder of your trip by:
adding a waypoint to the end of the trip
skipping to any waypoint within the trip
reverse the trip from present position to follow it back to the be-
