3.10 Navigation
This section shows you how to get to a desired destination by “quick points,”
waypoints, port services and routes.
Note
: Reciprocal setting and canceling of destination is available by outputting
the data sentence ZDA from the NavNet unit connected to the navigator.
3.10.1 Navigating to a “quick point”
The “quick point” feature allows you to navigate to point(s) without retaining the
data indefinitely in your unit’s memory.
Selecting quick point entry method
You need to tell your unit how to set the quick point: 1 POINT, 35 POINTS (up to
35 points) or 35PTS/PORT SVC. (For how to navigate to points/port services
see “3.10.3 Navigating to ports, port services” on page 3-46.)

Navigating to a single quick point
1. Select “1 POINT” following the procedure in the above paragraph.
2. Place the cursor on an existing waypoint (GOTO WPT soft key appears) or a
new location (GOTO CURSOR soft key appears).
3. Depending on the selection you made at step 1, press the GOTO CURSOR
or GOTO WPT soft key.
A line with arrows connects between own ship and destination, which is marked
as “<QP01>” for cursor-selected waypoint or waypoint name in case of waypoint.
This line shows the shortest course to the destination. Arrows on the line show
the direction to follow to get to the quick point. Range and bearing from own ship
to the destination appear at the top of screen. The quick point location is saved
to the waypoint list as waypoint “QP01.”
