Ingetekende lijn

A Benelux navigation system: the route to be driven is pre-drawn on the map as a continuous line and must be followed as accurately as possible in the forward direction.

Ingetekende lijn ('drawn-in line') is a navigation system widespread in the Netherlands and Belgium. On a map extract the route to be driven is already drawn as a continuous line; it must be followed from start to finish as accurately as possible and in the forward direction. Cross strokes drawn over it ('barricades') block sections that may not be driven – a shortest possible detour must be chosen. In the harder 'blinde lijn' (blind line) the map underlay is removed, so the crew navigates purely by the line.
