Introduction
Welcome to Maestro Navigator.
In this Manual
This Owner’s Manual guides you through all of Maestro Navigator’s features and
capabilities. An electronic version of this manual is built into the Maestro Navigator
system for easy access on board your vessel. To open the electronic manual, touch the
Help button in the Navigation Menu and choose Maestro Navigator Help. Touch any
topic heading for more information.
Faria’s Maestro Navigator displays Nautical Charts, Contour Charts and Navigation
Photos. It provides tools to plot your vessel’s location on those charts using your GPS
signal and provides data to help you plan, measure and monitor your progress.
The Touch Screen
Maestro Navigator’s touch screen brings a new level of convenience to navigating your
vessel. With a touch screen, you use your fingertip to move the cursor instead of
dragging it with a mouse. Instead of clicking on buttons and menus, you touch them
directly on the screen.
x “ Press ” or “ Touch ” means you should tap the screen with your finger. This is
equivalent to clicking with the left mouse button on a desktop computer.
x
“ Double-Touch ” means you should tap the screen twice, the same as double-
clicking with the left mouse button. Two successive taps are recognized as a
double-touch if the taps occur within a certain amount of time. You can set this
time using the Touch Screen button on the NavPanel (see below).
x “ Drag ” means you should touch the screen, with your finger remaining in
contact with the screen, move your fingertip to the desired location, and then
lift your finger from the screen.
