6.1.8 How to set tracks recording method and interval
In order to display tracks for your own ship, as well as other vessels, the system records the position of your ship and other ships. A shorter recording interval gives clearer, smoother track lines, however the total time available for recording is reduced. On
the other hand, a longer interval gives rougher tracks with longer recording time. When
the track memory becomes full, the oldest tracks are deleted to make room for new
tracks.
How to change the recording method for own ship’s track
1. Right-click within the radar effective radius to show the [CURSOR] menu.
2. Select [TRACK ON-OFF].
3. Left-click within the radar effective radius to cycle through the recording methods,
indicated at the top-left of the screen.
The indication cycles through the recording methods in the following order:
[TRACK INTERVAL 1] ( ) [TRACK INTERVAL 2] ( ) [HALT] ( )
[TRACK INTERVAL 1] ( )....
4. Right-click to complete the procedure.
To change the settings for [TRACK INTERVAL 1] or [TRACK INTERVAL 2], follow the
procedure outlined in "How to change the recording interval for own ship’s
track" on page 6-13.

6.5 Routes
Often a trip from one place to another involves several course changes, requiring a
series of route points (waypoints) which you navigate to, one after another. The sequence of waypoints leading to the ultimate destination is called a route.
6.5.1 How to create a route
You can create a route with one of the three following methods.
• Use existing waypoints.
• Start a route from your current position.
• Use an existing track (own or other ship).
Note: The above methods require [ROUTE DATA SOURCE] in the [ROUTE•WAYPOINTS] menu to be set to [INTERNAL].
Creating a route from existing waypoints
1. Open the menu.

Creating a route from your current position
You can create a route by recording a section of your voyage, based either on distance or time. The [BACKTRACK] feature can store a total of 100 waypoints, including
waypoints entered manually while recording, to a route in this manner.
While [BACKTRACK] is active, the “save” icon ( ) appears in the upper-right section
of the screen.
1. Open the menu.
2. Select [ROUTES•WAYPOINTS].
3. Select [SHOW ROUTES LIST].
4. Select [BACKTRACK].
5. Select the appropriate saving method.
• [DIST.]: save a preset distance of your voyage as a route.
• [TIME]: save a preset time (portion) of your voyage as a route.
• [NO]: deactivate the BACKTRACK feature.
6. Set the time or distance intervals which the [BACKTRACK] feature creates a waypoint automatically.
• [RNG LOG]: create a waypoint at this distance interval. For example, if setting
is [000.100 NM], a waypoint is created every 000.100 NM.
• [TIME LOG]: create a waypoint at this time interval. For example, if the setting
is 00H01M, a waypoint is created every minute.
7. Close the window. Your route is now automatically recorded and waypoints appear on the screen at the set intervals.
8. To add a waypoint manually, do the following:
1) Referring to section 1.7.1, hide the cursor.
2) Right-click within the radar effective radius to show the [CURSOR] menu.
3) Select [WPT]. An pop up message similar to the one
shown to the right appears to inform you that a new
waypoint was successfully entered.
To deactivate the [BACKTRACK] feature, repeat steps 1 to 5 in the above procedure, then select [NO]. The feature is also deactivated automatically when the recorded route reaches 100 waypoints.

Creating a route from existing tracks
You can covert your tracks, or the tracks of other vessels, to routes.
1. Open the menu.
2. Select [MARKS•PLOTTER].
3. Select [TRACK].
4. Select [CONV. TRACK TO RTE]. The [TRACK ROUTE CONVERSION] window
appears and tracks points are shown with small box-shaped icons ()at regular intervals along the track.
5. Select the track point at which you want to start the conversion.
6. Select the track point at which you want to end the conversion. The [FILTER SET]
is now active and you can set the finer details of the conversion.
Tracks have a large number of points, you can filter which points will be converted
from track points to route points (waypoints). The filter lets you select a distance
interval and a bearing difference. Track points that meet both criteria are converted.
7. Select [DISTANCE].
8. Set the distance interval as required.
Only track points at this distance interval are converted to route points (waypoints). Track points which are within the distance range are ignored. For example, if you set [DISTANCE] as [010.00NM], the track points at 10NM intervals,
from the start point to the end point, are converted. However, any track points located in between are ignored.
6-54
9. Select [ANGLE].
10. Set the bearing minimum.
Only track points which are outside this angle, either to port or starboard, are converted. For example, if you set [ANGLE] as [005.0°], only track points with a bearing of more than 5° from the previous convertable track point are converted.
Page 43
11. Select [RUN CONV.]. The number of track points which will be converted appears
in the window at [NO. OF DST TO CONV].
You can also remove add or track points from the conversion manually at this
point.
To cancel conversion for a point, select the point, then press F3.
To add a point for conversion, select the point, then press F4.
12. Press the left button. A confirmation message appears.

6.6 Destinations
In navigation terminology, a destination point is a particular geographical location on
a voyage whether it be a starting, intermediate or destination point. By setting a waypoint, information to get you to the waypoint with the shortest distance and time can
be displayed.
6.6.1 How to set up GOTO points
GOTO points are temporary waypoints which are used in quick route functions. GOTO
points and quick routes are retained after turning the power off, however old GOTO
points and quick routes are replaced when a new GOTO point or quick route is saved.
Setting the GOTO method
The GOTO function can use one of two methods to create a quick route, a single destination, or a series of waypoints.
1. Open the menu.
2. Select [ROUTES•WAYPOINTS].
3. Select [SELECT GOTO METHOD].
4. Select the required method.
• [1POINT]: create a single GOTO point as the
destination.
• [100POINTS]: create up to 100 GOTO waypoints as a quick route.
5. Close the menu.
Setting a single GOTO destination
Note: The following procedure requires [ROUTE DATA SOURCE] in the
[ROUTE•WAYPOINTS] menu to be set to [INTERNAL].
1. Set the GOTO method as [1POINT], referring to "Setting the GOTO
method" on page 6-58.
2. Do one of the following:
• For RCU-031 users only: Place the cursor on the location you want to go to,
then press the GOTO key.
• Use the cursor menu:
1) Right-click within the radar effective radius to show the [CURSOR] menu.
2) Select [GOTO].
3) Place the cursor on the location you want to go to, then left-click. A GOTO
point appears at the selected location, and a route line appears from your
current location to the GOTO point, with arrows indicating the direction of
travel.
