1.1.6 Details of the Waypoint Data
This section gives an overview about the meaning and use of all parameters and data being part of the
route data-set. The shortcuts in parenthesis [ ] are those used in the headlines of the Waypoint and
Route List on the screen.
Waypoint Number [No.]
Meaning: Serial number of a waypoint within the route; it is automatically allocated consecutively by the
program, beginning at 1. It clearly identifies the waypoint within the route. It appears as a reference
marker in all lists, in the chart area (if switched on), and in all other displays of the system which refer
to the individual waypoint.
Name of the Waypoint [Name]
Meaning: Helps to identify the waypoint during the subsequent processing and during use while sailing
along the route. It can be displayed or printed out in all lists, and can be shown in most displays of the
system which refer to the individual waypoint.
Waypoint Position [LAT] [LON]
Meaning: Geographical WGS84 position of the waypoint
Editing: In the [LAT] and [LON] column.
Special features during editing: The hemispheres are input with N, S and E, W.
Radius [RAD]
Meaning: Radius in nautical miles with which the planned course change manoeuvre at a waypoint is to
be performed. It can be set between the minimum and maximum radius value defined for the system
on service level.
Estimated Time of Arrival / of Departure [ETA/ETD]
Meaning: Indication of the manual set or automatically calculated estimated time of arrival or departure
time depending on the ET Mode set in the following column.
Estimated Time Mode [ET Mode]
Meaning: Defines the method how the ETA/ETD data are calculated by the system.
Editing: Under ET Mode in the Waypoint List; can be set to Departure / Arrival / Calculated.
If it is set to Calculated, no input can be made into the ETA/ETD column. If you do not want to use the
Planned Track Speed function, the point of departure should be set to Departure, any point of arrival
should be set to Arrival.
Parameter Point Attribute [PP]
Meaning: With the aid of a waypoint for which the Parameter Point attribute is set, new values for the
route parameters Maximum Speed, Course Limit, Off Track Limit and Rudder Economy can be set differ-
ently within a straight track segment (the leg of a route).
