![5-15. ROUTES5.1 What is a Route?A route is a series of route points entered in the order to use for navigation. A route can contain up to a maximum of 500 route points, and this equipment stores 200 routes.Note: When connecting NavNet 3D units on the LAN network, a route can contain up to a maximum of 100 route points.You create a route by selecting geographical positions on the screen. These positions are marked with blue squares.You can follow a route that you have created, with the [Go To] feature. When you fol-low a route, the current leg is shown as a red dashed line and the previous leg is shown as a light gray line.The routes on the screen can be edited from the pop-up menu. With this pop-up menu, you can• Insert route points in a route• Move route points in a route• Delete route points from a route• Extend a route• Split routes• Find information about a route• Delete a route• Set a route as destination• Follow a route in the reverse direction• Ignore a route point when following a routeNote: Active routes can be shared with other NavNet TZtouch2 units via LAN. Data is shared automatically; no operation is required.5.2 How to Create a Route5.2.1 How to create a new route from the plotter screen1.

Tap the screen to finish.6.4 How to Reduce the Sea ClutterThe reflected echoes from waves appear at the central part of the screen and have the name “sea clutter”. The sea clutter increases in width as the height of waves and the height of the antenna above the water increase. If the sea clutter is strong, targets can be hidden inside the clutter, like in the left-hand figure shown below.When the sea clutter hides targets, adjust the sea control (automatically or manually) to reduce the clutter. After the sea clutter is gone, turn off the sea control to prevent the loss of targets. Like with gain, sea clutter can be adjusted from the pop-up menu or data area. See the procedures in section 6.3.For automatic sea clutter suppression, there are two meth-ods: [Advanced] and [Coastal]. [Advanced] provides for stan-dard suppression of sea clutter and is intended for normal use. [Coastal] suppresses sea clutter further than does [Advanced] and paints land and target echoes thicker. Use [Coastal] when you are cruising along a coastline. To select an automatic sea clutter suppression method, open the pop-up menu, tap [Auto Sea Mode] then turn on [Advanced] or [Coastal].Manual adjustmentTap to alternatebetween auto and manual.Drag slider.797979RADARDATA ROUTESea clutter at screen centerSea control adjusted; sea clutter suppressed](https://usermanual.wiki/Furuno-USA/9ZWRTR104.User-Manual-II-Part-6/User-Guide-2522490-Page-19.png)
