DESTINATION
Destination can be set five ways: by cursor, by waypoint, by mark, by route and by
MOB position. The setting by MOB position is described in section 3.3. When setting
a destination, a line (shortest course) appears between own ship and the destination
selected.
Note:
When a destination is set, ETA
and ETA(Plan) are displayed instead of
COG and SOG at the bottom right of the
plotter display with the cursor off.
