Once you have created a route using either autoroute or manual route mode, the next step is to take a voyage. You can use the route you created to help you navigate to your destination and get important trip information updated for you along the way, such as ETA and estimated fuel used. You will also create a track of the actual path that you take that can be saved along with your other trip information to your Captain’s Log.

After creating a route either in autoroute or manual route mode, simply hit Start Voyage Button.
