Route Along Great Circle option only works with Grid based algorithm
If Isochronal is selected Expedition simply ignores the RAGC option and seems to route normally. An error message instead would be nice similar to the disclaimer about leaving marks to either port or starboard. Minor niggle but thought I'd put it out there.

Ah, that might explain Anamolous results. Wondered why the Iso was all over

It is noted in the help, but I could add a comment somewhere else

Re: Route Along Great Circle option only works with Grid based algorithm
Thanks NIck, sorry, yes I do see that now in the help file:Route along great circleUsed for planning. Sails along a great circle route between marks. When current are included, will approximate a great circle.Only valid for the grid based routing algorithm.But yes, an actual message in the same vein as the one for leaving marks to one side would be welcome I think.
