Creating Routes or Marks

A new option when viewing the charts gives you the ability to either create a route or to simply mark specific points on top of the images. Both of these options will create a list of the marked locations at the bottom of the page, giving you the ability to easily print the chart and locations on a single page. Both options are similar - the main difference being that creating a route will include the distance and bearing between points, and will draw the route with lines on the chart.
===========================================

Creating a Route:

  • Click the "Create Route" button at the top of the chart
  • Use your mouse to click on the chart to select your first point.
  • A Comment box will be displayed. You can enter a note or remark in the box, up to 25 characters. Click the OK button when you are done. Note: you don't have to enter a comment, just leave the box blank and click the OK button (or hit "Enter" on the keyboard).
  • The first spot will now be placed on the chart and the listing of the coordinates, etc. will be started at the bottom of the webpage.
  • Use your mouse to click on the chart to select your next point. Repeat until you have created the entire route.
  • To print the image and route correctly, you will need to click on the "Printer Friendly Page" link at the top of the chart.
  • This will display the image in a new page, ready for printing. Click the "Print Page" button at the top of the chart.
  • To close the printer friendly page, either click the Close Window button at the bottom of the page, or just use the standard browser close window icon.
  • This will bring you back to original page. You can clear the route by clicking on the "Clear Route" button.

===========================================

Marking Waypoints:

  • Click the "Mark Points" button at the top of the chart
  • Use your mouse to click on the chart to select your first point.
  • A Comment box will be displayed. You can enter a note or remark in the box, up to 25 characters. Click the OK button when you are done. Note: you don't have to enter a comment, just leave the box blank and click the OK button (or hit "Enter" on the keyboard).
  • The first spot will now be placed on the chart and the listing of the coordinates, etc. will be started at the bottom of the webpage.
  • Use your mouse to click on the chart to select your next point. Repeat until you have selected all the desired spots.
  • To print the image and waypoints correctly, you will need to click on the "Printer Friendly Page" link at the top of the chart.
  • This will display the image in a new page, ready for printing. Click the "Print Page" button at the top of the chart.
  • To close the printer friendly page, either click the Close Window button at the bottom of the page, or just use the standard browser close window icon.
  • This will bring you back to original page. You can clear the route by clicking on the "Clear Points" button.
