Chapter 3: Operation 3-1 Chapter 3: Operation 3.1 Introduction This chapter explains how to use the chart functions to navigate with your RayChart 420.
3-2 RayChart 420/420D Chartplotter All waypoints in the database are displayed on the screen, unless you set SHOW WAYPOINTS to OFF in the Chart Set Up menu, as described in Chapter 4 . You can select a waypoint, either on-screen or from the list, for editing.
Chapter 3: Operation 3-3 PLACE WAYPOINT MOVE CURSOR, "ENTER"TO PLACE WAYPOINT, "CLEAR" TO QUIT 2. Place the cursor in the required position on the chart and press ENTER to place the waypoint. The waypoint is added to the waypoint list and named using the next available number.
3-4 RayChart 420/420D Chartplotter Selecting a waypoint Positioning the cursor over a waypoint selects that waypoint and accesses the WAYPOINT OPTIONS function bar. This enables you to go to (described in Section 3.4), edit (symbol, name, position), erase or move the waypoint.
Chapter 3: Operation 3-5 W aypoint data display Waypoint data can be viewed in two ways: you can use the cursor to select the waypoint to display the waypoint data in the status bar at the top of the screen, or you can view waypoint details on the waypoint list.
3-6 RayChart 420/420D Chartplotter 4. To edit the symbol, select EDIT SYMBOL. D4674_1 5. Use trackpad left/right to highlight the required symbol , then press ENTER . To edit a waypoint using the Waypoint List: 1. From chart mode, press ENTER ; the primary function bar is displayed.
Chapter 3: Operation 3-7 Erasing a waypoint Note: You cannot erase a waypoint that is the target waypoint or waypoints that are also used in any saved route(s). If you try to erase a waypoint that is used in a saved route you are warned “ WAYPOINT IS USED IN ROUTE(S) AND CANNOT BE ERASED ” To delete a waypoint using the cursor: 1.
3-8 RayChart 420/420D Chartplotter To move a waypoint using the Waypoint Edit functions: 1. Select the waypoint using the Waypoint List as described above. The waypoint functions are displayed. 2. To edit the waypoint position proceed as previously described in Editing the Waypoint Details.
Chapter 3: Operation 3-9 3. Select MORE to see more functions: 4. Select MORE again to return to the first level functions. 5. Press CLEAR to return to chart mode. Creating a new r oute Note: If there is a current route on screen, it is cleared when you select MAKE ROUTE.
3-10 RayChart 420/420D Chartplotter 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have placed all your waypoints. You can have up to 50 waypoints in a route. Any existing waypoint(s) can be included by placing the cursor on the waypoint(s). 7. When you have entered all your waypoints, press GOTO to complete the route.
Chapter 3: Operation 3-11 5. Press ENTER to finish and clear the Route List, then press CLEAR to return to the chart mode. Clearing the current r oute from the scr een To clear the current route from the screen, select CLEAR ROUTE. If the current route has not been saved, you are prompted to save it.
3-12 RayChart 420/420D Chartplotter Displaying route leg and waypoint information To display information about a route leg, move the cursor over the leg until its data is displayed in the status bar at the top of the screen. To remove the data, move the cursor away from the route leg or press CLEAR .
Chapter 3: Operation 3-13 • Move a Waypoint (as described in Section 3.2) • Reverse a Route Any changes you make to the route affect only the current route, so you need to save the route if you want to keep the changes.
3-14 RayChart 420/420D Chartplotter 6. Press CLEAR again to remove the function bar and route leg data. The new waypoint is temporarily added to the waypoint list and named with the first available waypoint number. The waypoints in the current route are re- numbered to identify the new positions.
Chapter 3: Operation 3-15 2. Select MORE to display the second level GOTO functions: 3. Select MORE to return to the first level functions. 4. Press CLEAR to return to the chart screen. Note: The functions differ if a FOLLOW or GOTO is already in progress ( see Stop Follow or Stop Goto ).
3-16 RayChart 420/420D Chartplotter The current route is reversed on the screen and the waypoints are renumbered. To follow the reversed route: 4. Press the GOTO key.
Chapter 3: Operation 3-17 2. Press ENTER and select FOLLOW FROM HERE. D4687_1 FOLLOW FROM HERE EDIT WAYPOINT REMOVE WAYPOINT MOVE WAYPOINT Your vessel follows the route, using the selected waypoint as the target. 3. To return to chart mode, move the cursor away from the waypoint or press CLEAR .
3-18 RayChart 420/420D Chartplotter Going to an individual target Rather than following a route, you can go directly to a selected target. This can be an existing waypoint, a port or the current cursor position. Go to a waypoint To navigate directly to an existing waypoint: 1.
Chapter 3: Operation 3-19 Go to cursor Note: If navigation is currently in progress or if the cursor is homed (Find Ship) it is not possible to go to cursor. To navigate directly to the current cursor position: 1. Press the GOTO key and select GOTO CURSOR.
3-20 RayChart 420/420D Chartplotter 3. Use trackpad up/down to select the required destination and press ENTER to start the GoTo, or CLEAR to cancel the operation. The operation is conducted in the same manner as for GO TO PORT above. Stop follow or stop goto To stop following the route or target point: 1.
Chapter 3: Operation 3-21 CDI display The CDI display shows Cross Track Error (XTE) and distance to waypoint presented in a ‘ runway ’ format: D4700_1 The ‘ runway ’ represents a 0.
3-22 RayChart 420/420D Chartplotter BDI display The BDI display shows deviation from the bearing to waypoint and distance to waypoint. Cross track Error, Bearing to Waypoint, Distance to Waypoint, Time to Go, COG and SOG are also shown. Time to Go is calculated on the basis of distance to destination and velocity made good towards destination.
Chapter 3: Operation 3-23 W aypoint data The Waypoint Data display comprises text data occupying the whole screen : D4702_1 COG 230° T TIME 13:29 12/12/99 SOG 6.8 Kts TTG 01:03 XTE 0.5 nm ETA 14:32 12/12/99 BRG 234° T RNG 12.4 nm ROUTE ROUTE 01 WPT 001 WAYPOINT STEER STARBOARD If a route is not selected, the ROUTE field displays NO ROUTE.
3-24 RayChart 420/420D Chartplotter If no GOTO or follow is in progress, the steering instruction is NO TARGET, no steering arrows are shown, but the rhumb line indicator is shown. The graphical XTE indication places arrows either side of the rhumb line indicator and pointing towards it, dependent on the value of XTE.
Chapter 3: Operation 3-25 Time/Date Data The Time/Date display comprises text data occupying the whole screen: TIME 12:34 DATE 26/01/99 ETA (WAYPOINT) 13:37 26/01/99 TTG (WAYPOINT) 01:03 ETA (ROUTE) 14:32 27/01/99 TTG (ROUTE) 34:03 STEER STARBOARD SUNRISE 06.
