View Orientation
Both Chart and Combo Views allow you to choose the orientation of the view
(see Navigation Menu Tab: Chart Orientation). In both orientations, the view
pans automatically so that the boat is always centered on the display.
• North-Up: True North is shown at the top of the display. Objects located
to the north of the boat are drawn above the boat.
• Course-Up: The direction of motion of the boat is shown at the top of
the display. Objects ahead of the boat are drawn above the boat.
When the boat is stationary, it is drawn as a circle.
When the boat is in motion, it takes on a boat shape, pointed in the
direction of motion (always up in the Course-Up orientation).
Viewing Cartography
In the Chart or Combo Views there are several cartography-related functions
that you can access using various keys.
Panning: Use the 4-WAY Cursor
Control key to move the chart around
on the display in the direction of the key
being pressed. When you do this, a
bull's eye cursor is drawn at the center
of the screen and is linked to the boat
by a gray line, even if the boat is off
the screen. At the same time, the
temperature and speed boxes in the
lower left corner are replaced with
the distance and bearing from the boat
to the cursor position and the
latitude/longitude coordinates of the
cursor.
