Apparatus and method for navigation route planning

A navigation planning method, comprising:

• receiving a navigation start point and a navigation destination point for a navigation route of at least one of a vessel or an aircraft;
• receiving a plurality of waypoints between the navigation start point and the navigation destination point;
• determining a positional relationship between the plurality of waypoints, wherein the plurality of waypoints is received in at least one type of order, and wherein the at least one type of order comprises a random order and a sequential order;
• determining 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;
• and
• outputting the at least one waypoint data and the corresponding at least one indicator data for the navigation route, to a display for displaying the at least one waypoint and the corresponding at least one indicator data.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a computing device to perform a method that comprises:

• receiving a navigation start point and a navigation destination point for a navigation route of at least one of a vessel or an aircraft;
• receiving a plurality of waypoints between the navigation start point and the navigation destination point;
• determining a positional relationship between the plurality of waypoints, wherein the plurality of waypoints is received in at least one type of order, and wherein the at least one type of order comprises a random order or a sequential order;
• determining 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;
• and
• outputting the at least one waypoint data and the corresponding at least one indicator data for the navigation route, to a display for displaying the at least one waypoint and the corresponding at least one indicator data.
• determining 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;
• and
• outputting the at least one waypoint data and the corresponding at least one indicator data for the navigation route, to a display for displaying the at least one waypoint and the corresponding at least one indicator data.
