Move a Waypoint by LAT/LON input
Click with DO on the waypoint line to select it. By a click in the LAT and / or LON field open the position
input and key in the intended modified position. You may also move the waypoint graphically in the PPI/
Chart area.
Delete a Waypoint
Click with DO on the waypoint line to be deleted. After another click into the line with MORE the context
menu opens where you can select Delete Waypoint.
Copy and Paste
Selecting a line and with a MORE click and selection of Copy Waypoint in the context menu, all data
of the selected waypoint are copied to a buffer. With Paste Waypoint a new waypoint will be created
before this or another selected line.
Taking over from another Route
Select another route from any available catalog and copy the required waypoint. Then change back to
the route to be modified and use the Paste Waypoint function of the context menu in order to insert
the copied waypoint before any selected line.
Taking over of a complete Route
Load a route from any available catalog and save it to the same or another folder.
In another folder you may use the same name of the route; in the same folder you must use another
name before saving it in order not to overwrite the original data.
The function Save As... is supporting this task.
☞ For the general functions Save and Reload, Check Route, System Route and Alternative
Routes as well as Reverse Route please refer to the respective chapters under graphical route
editing.
Useful Information
ECDIS and Browse Mode
- During route editing it is often advisable to use the Browse mode of the ECDIS. In this way you can
at the same time observe the geometric constraints (for example: too large radius, too short leg,
etc.) and the numerical parameters of the route when you establish the waypoint sequence.
- In Browse mode, by a double-click on the line of a waypoint dataset, the display screen of the appli-
cation area (PPI or chart) is automatically centered on the selected waypoint. I.e. by clicking line by
line you can "jump" along the route from waypoint to waypoint.
- In Browse mode you can also use the Zoom and Pan control or the other tools in the permanent
area (like Range) and the application area (like Set Chart Center, etc.) to control the scale and the
center position of the electronic chart.
General Note about Editing
All alphanumerical input fields are opened in the overwrite mode, i.e. you can directly type in the wanted
value. If you only want to change a part of the value, click before the character or number to be changed
and make your entry.
The Enter key or button, or a click somewhere else takes over the input you have made.
