Planning

This is Deckman’s optimum route finding program. Planning will give
you the quickest route between the two selected marks, given any wind
and tide information–see Figure 3.6 in which the optimum route is
shown in heavy black, along with arrows representing the current at
each point.

Note. Deckman will route around any land that lies in the way.
Deckman uses the background chart colour to determine where the land
is, so before you choose the do isochrones command, you must zoom so
that all of the legs of the course for which you want to plan are visible.
