    Misc Questions.

    I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to create a route that doesn't move off the Rhumb Line more than X miles.
    I tried adding marks alternating marks left and right of rhumb and then set each mark to either leave to port or starboard.  I wasn't able to figure out how to display the rhumb line course at the same time so my marks tended to drift.
    Q1.  Can you display more than 1 course at a time but only have 1 active?  I saw an always draw option for a Mark but not for a course.
    Q2.  Or is there an easier way to accomplish this?

    Thank you

    Could you use a divider?

    Thanks, it took me a few minutes to figure out what you meant but that worked great.

    Regarding you first question:
    Could you create race notes each side of the route at your max distance delta from the rhumb...might do what you're trying to accomplish
