connected by straight lines. The Chartnav 343 can store up to
6 routes. From the Plotter page, press the
MENU

again and
you are at the screen to enter, view or edit your routes. Just

Navigating a Route
Providing your system has a position finding device and
suitable autopilot, the Chartnav 343 will feed data to the
autopilot so that the boat will automatically follow a route.
This is done by creating a Target that it steers towards. When
the boat nearly reaches the target the Chartnav 343 will move
the target to the next waypoint in the route and so turn the
boat.

Waypoint, the Pop-Up Window shows. An option at the
bottom of the window will be SELECT to enter target, press
the
SELECT
key and the Chartnav 343 will immediately start
transmitting suitable data to the autopilot. Switch your
autopilot to navigate mode and youll be on your way.
