Chapter 3: Operation
3.1 Introduction
This chapter explains how to navigate with the Raynav 300 GPS Plotter.
It covers the following topics:
• Controlling waypoints, including placing, moving, editing and delet-
ing waypoints.
• Changing the display mode.
• Using a range of data pages to display navigation data.
• Maintaining a Data Log of Time, Position, Course Made Good
(CMG) and Distance Made Good (DMG).
• Working with waypoints and routes, including creating a new route,
managing routes using the Route List and editing routes.
• Following routes and going to waypoints.
• Transferring waypoints and routes
• Using tracks, including showing tracks, track set up, saving tracks
and converting a track to a route (SmartRoute).
• Using the Man Overboard (MOB) feature.
• Setting up Alarms and Timers.
• Cursor echo from other equipment.
CAUTION:
The GPS Plotter makes it easy to place a waypoint and travel
towards it. However, you should always check first that the route is
safe. When using the GPS Plotter in combination with a SeaTalk
autopilot, the autopilot will prompt for confirmation before it steers
the vessel towards the waypoint.
