List Route
Clicking route on the icon bar brings up a window containing
information about the current route, as well as your present latitude and
longitude—see Figure 3.4.
Three different positions are shown at the top of the window:
DR
dead reckoning—calculated from the speed and bearing
received from the instruments
EP
estimated position—DR position adjusted for whichever
current is selected in Use Current in the Navigation
options window (see page 3.21).
PF
position as read from the position fixer, usually GPS.
Beneath this is a list of the marks showing on the first line of each entry
the range and bearing from either the boat if it is the first waypoint, or
from the previous mark. The second line has a letter (either P or S)
indicating the direction of rounding, followed by the latitude and
longitude of the mark from the waypoint file.
