3. Press the OK key.
The CHART screen appears, and navigation begins along
the selected route leg. Your XTE is your vessel's distance
from the leg. To see the route in the trip, press the TRIP
key (you may have to press the CURSOR PAD down to
scroll the trip list of the future waypoints).
Adding a route to the end of your trip
You can add a selected route—starting with any selected
waypoint—to the end of your current trip:
1. At the FOLLOW ROUTE screen, press the CURSOR PAD
up or down to select a starting waypoint (to reverse the
direction, press the REVERSE DIR key).
2. Press the ADD TO TRIP key.
To see the route in the trip, press the TRIP key (you may
have to press the CURSOR PAD down to scroll the list of
future waypoints).
You can follow a route right from the CHART screen. To do so,
you must first mark the route for display, but then you simply
select it on the CHART screen and choose from the following
three options:
• follow the selected route now—you select a starting
waypoint
• join any leg of the route, then follow the rest of the route
• add the route—starting with a selected waypoint—to the
end of your trip
Before you choose any of the above options, you can reverse
the direction in which you'll follow the selected route: At each
dialog box, you'll have the option to press the REVERSE
DIRECTION key. If you press this key, only a copy of the
displayed route is reversed; the original route remains
unchanged in the database.
