[CA] [CA11] axiom track to route conversion ?

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum serendip,

The only constraint which would typically exist for converting a track to a route would be that the resulting route may not exceed the maximum number of points per route constraint. While the your track is quite long, Raymarine has specified other constraints which one need be concerned with. As far as exporting a track, it is not necessary to convert the track to a route in order to export it. Should you export the track (it will be saved in a GPX file), identify the track of interest, and then attach the GPX file to this thread, then I may be able to attempt to duplicate the problem. If a problem is identified, then a report will be generated accordingly to seek its correction within a future LightHouse 3 software update.

As a workaround, I would recommend that the Chart application be used to display the subject track, that the Create Route feature commanded, that a route be manually created, and started at the beginning of the track. In doing so, each time that a waypoint is created and the cursor is moved away from the waypoint, a route leg line will be drawn. The cursor should be moved to position the route leg line over the track and extended until a turn is required ... at which location another route waypoint would be created. This process would then continue until the end of the track or the maximum number of waypoints constraint is reached. Unlike tracks, routes may be navigated by the MFD, thereby permitting steering commands to be communicated to an autopilot (if any) within the system.
