Using Route Information to Review Your Passage Plan
You can view data for all the waypoints in the current route, or any saved route.
You select the route from the database list and the information is displayed in a
Route Information pop-up; the following details are provided for each
waypoint:
Position
Bearing (from previous waypoint)
Length of leg (from previous waypoint)
Total Length
Time (ETA or Elapsed)
Soft keys are provided to toggle the time between ETA or elapsed and to change
the Speed Over Ground (SOG) value; the ETA for each waypoint is calculated
using the selected SOG, so you can change the SOG to determine its effect on
your ETA.
The Review Your Passage Plan scenario in Chapter 2 provides a simple
example of how to use the route information.
