Kiel Canal issue

[Steeltrap]

Hi all

Running GWX 2.1 (and very nice it is!).

A slight issue - I can't find the "Kiel Canal outbound point", so my auto-nav puts me on a kamikaze course (kind of entertaining, but a bit tough on the paint job!). :o

The inbound point is clearly marked on the map - any advice/clues, anyone??

Cheers

BEFORE you move at all click on outbound
Then follow course

:yep:

Where you sit at the dock is the outbound point. Getting underway and then clicking it is a sure-fire recipe for disaster. I learned this the hard way, and had to have it explained to me too.

I've found that I can avoid crashing on the outbound trip by specifying the outbound course plot then gettting underway. Seems to help, if once I'm underway, I delete that first waypoint in the harbour (before you get to the outbound Kiel nav point) too. Smashed into a couple of things at higher tc before I learned this. :damn:

Thanks, all!

I found the answer in the manual. If you've not read it you would do yourself a favour by doing so - it's a thing of beauty in itself!!
