Chapter 5: Operation 67
Target Point Arrival
Target alarms (see Chapter 5) can be set up to sound when the vessel is
approaching the target point. The arrival alarm is defined as a circle (not
visible on the screen), with a specified radius around the target.
The alarm is triggered when either of the following conditions is met:
• The distance to the target point is less than that specified for the
Arrival alarm.
• The vessel reaches the closest point of approach to the target (it
crosses a line passing through the waypoint and perpendicular to the
track).
➤ Once the alarm is triggered, the vessel goes towards the next waypoint in
the route. Press any key to cancel the arrival alarm.
The target becomes the origin, the next waypoint becomes the target
point and the two are connected by a dotted line indicating the current leg.
If the target waypoint was the subject of a GoTo, or was the last waypoint
in a route, the pop-up alarm is cleared.
Alter a Route
A route can be followed from a selected waypoint (Join a route) or, if
already following, advanced to the next waypoint. Also the XTE can be
restarted, setting the current vessel position as the new origin.
In addition, a selected waypoint can be moved as described in
Section 5.2, or removed from the route as described in Section 5.3.
Join a Route
➤ To start following the current route from a selected waypoint:
1. Move the cursor over a route waypoint until the WAYPOINT OPTIONS
function is displayed.
2. Press ENTER and select FOLLOW FROM HERE.
