APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR NAVIGATION ROUTE PLANNING

A navigation planning device configured to receive a navigation start point, a navigation destination point for a navigation route of at least one of a vessel or an aircraft, and a plurality of waypoints between the navigation start point and the navigation destination point, where the plurality of waypoints may be received in at least one of random order or in sequential order. The navigation planning device is configured to determine a positional relationship between the plurality of waypoints, and determine at least one indicator data corresponding to at least one waypoint data of the plurality of waypoints, based on the positional relationship between the plurality of waypoints. The navigation planning device is further configured to output the at least one waypoint data and the corresponding at least one indicator data for the navigation route to a display.
