Boating
Q. Can I chart a coarse on my boat and let it take me some where without telling the tiller man where to go?
A. There is a way to move your ship around, and that's by charting a course on your "Map of the World" , Sea chart (or, if you prefer, a close-in detail map). Double-click on your map to open it, then click on the "Plot course" text along the top. Take a look at your current position, and where you want to go -- and then plot a course. Be sure to avoid all the major islands. Each pin that you stick in the map is a position to which your tillerman will sail. you do not need to set a pin at your current location, you only need to set pins where you want your ship to go. After the course is set, hand your map to the tillerman. Here are a few commands to navigate by map.
"Continue"Resume plotted course after stopped."Furl sail", "Stop"
Stops current ship movement."Goto (#)"Sail directly to pin # on map, then continue on remainder of plotted course."Nav"Asks tillerman which pin # you are heading to on map."Single (#)"Sail directly to pin # on map, then stop."Start"Start along the charted course and continue until finished or "stop"ed.
