4.9 How do I navigate to a specific point?

You can use your chart to navigate to a specific point marked by the cursor or to a waypoint. When you are steering manually, you can also use the chart to determine the bearing or direction to steer.

A

GOTO...

GOTO CURSOR

Navigating using the cursor is a very simple and quick technique that involves travelling directly to a point selected by the cursor position:

1. Position the cursor at the desired destination

2. Press GOTO. If you are currently navigating to a waypoint, following a route or already navigating to the cursor, you will need to press STOP GOTO, before the system will allow you to go to the position currently marked by the cursor.

3. Press GOTO CURSOR. A temporary waypoint entitled

is placed at the cursor position and a dashed line is drawn between your original vessel position and the temporary waypoint.
