Restarting the
desired track
961 Operations and Reference Manual Rev. D
Adding coordinates to the end of the trip
You can specify the next waypoint to go to before you reach
the active waypoint, called "queuing." If you're unfamiliar with
the term queue, it means to put in line, as when several people
are waiting for service at a ticket window. By queuing way-
points, you can navigate along a series of waypoints, specifying
the next waypoint at any time. Waypoint queuing provides
many of the advantages of following an entire route automati-
cally (see "Creating Routes" starting on page 8-1), while provid-
ing the flexibility of easily handling last-minute changes to
your trip. You queue waypoints by adding new coordinates to
the end of your trip, which tells the 961 that you'd like to go to
these coordinates—after you go to any future trip waypoints
already specified.
If you've already gone past the last waypoint, adding to the
end of the trip will restart navigation.
To queue a waypoint:
1. From the CHART screen, press the GO TO key.
2. At the GO TO COORDINATES dialog box, use the KEY-
PAD to enter the desired position coordinates.
3. Press the ADD TO END OF TRIP key (or press the CAN-
CEL key to cancel).
The 961 creates a waypoint named COORD to which
you'll navigate at the end of your current trip, and returns
to the CHART screen, showing the additional leg from the
previous end of the trip to the new waypoint.
When navigating from one waypoint to another, you may find
that you've wandered away from your intended course line.
Perhaps you avoided an obstacle or simply drifted slightly.
Whenever you go off-course for any reason, you can opt to go
directly to the waypoint by restarting the track line. Press the
RESTART HERE key to restart your course line from your
present position to the active waypoint, rather than maintain
your original course line (your trip isn't changed).
To restart the track and go directly to the active waypoint:
1. From the CHART screen, press the GO TO key.
