This option gives the possibility to reach the nearest port, which can provide 

different services, from the target waypoint (with GPS on and a route 

already tracked).

closest service is labelled by a double frame, a window is displayed 

containing the relative port name (framed), the distance and time (set time)

selection a waypoint is given to show the possible route), press ENTER to 

confirm or any other key to exit. The target waypoint will be changed, the 

new one will be the selected port and the LCD Plotter will track the new
